With gnucash 2.6.17 on ubuntu 17.10 I cannot do anything with the
reconcile screen. Clicking anywhere to do anything always takes me
back to the main screen, I can't even close it. It doesn't make any
difference whether or not I make changes on the "Reconcile
information" screen. I've tried restarting my laptop to no avail.
Several searches have revealed nothing obvious. Any ideas as this
is very frustrating? Do I need to raise a bug report or is there one
all ready that my searches missed?
Mark, I'm on Ubuntu 17.10 and I'm not seeing this issue...the
reconcile screen and associated functions work fine.
Do you know if you are using the Wayland screen renderer or the old
X-org. X11 renderer? if you're not sure, restart Ubuntu and on the
screen where you enter your user password there is a little gear icon
near the password dialog box. Click on that. One of the choices that
appear will mention Wayland, another will mention X-org. There may
be others, depending upon the video in your computer.
Anyway, I believe that Ubuntu may default to using Wayland. That
should be indicated in the dialog. Select the X.org option and
continue your normal login. See if the problem with the reconcile
screen persists.

Problem solved by following the above, thanks for such a fast
response, and over the weekend as well :)
Happy to be the one that helps, for a change.
n.b., the Wayland renderer has proven problematic for Ubuntu on a number
of fronts (i.e., it's buggier than a rain forest). So much so that the
next version, 18.4, due in April, will go back to using the X-Org.
rendering system as the default. Wayland will still be available, it
just won't be automatically selected during the installation like it is
for 17.10.
