Thanks for the responses. Adrien asks, "why are you wanting this report?" Partly it's about having another piece of a paper trail, but mainly because it's what I've been doing in Quicken for a couple of decades.
To be clear, this is just about my personal finances: checking account, credit cards, and so on. Nothing that will be audited, nor likely requested by an accountant. What I am used to seeing in a reconciliation report is (a) a list of cleared transactions for the period covered by the current statement, the one I have just reconciled; and (b) a list of transactions that remain uncleared after the reconciliation process; and (c) various totals and summaries. Item (b) would ideally consist of transactions since the statement closed, an uncashed check I wrote two months ago, etc. When I specify a date range, Gnucash wants to look at both the transaction date AND the reconciliation date. So I am getting two months' transactions in the report, one of which is just clutter and will duplicate the prior month's reconciliation report. If my latest statement includes 15 transactions between July 1 and July 31, when it closes, that time period will include the day (e.g. July 3) that I reconcile the June statement. But the June transactions are history; they have no business in the July reconciliation report. I'm not an accountant for sure, but if there is a reason for including in the report the June transactions *reconciled* in July along with the actual July transactions, I don't see it. The suggestion that I filter for a date range (e.g. July 1-31) and for reconciled transactions, then generate an Account Report would give me a list of current reconciled transactions, but not the unreconciled ones. (Yes, I could generate a separate report with a filter, but that is an inelegant workaround, in my opinion.) Regarding Christopher's reference to "standard accounting practice," I want to emphasize that I don't know what is standard, just what seems logical, familiar, and useful to me. Nevertheless, I am going to follow his suggestion and file a bug report suggesting an Enhancement to the reconciliation report dialog.
