I was able to solve this too. It works for resolution if the imbalanced
transactions are assigned an account inside the checking account transaction
list. If you try to assign the account in the "Imbalanced" account, it does
not work.
Why does this happen?
I think I understand what is confusing you.
You can enter transactions working from any of the accounts affected (if
more than one, then it is a "split" transaction. You can specify/change
(if editing the transaction) anything about the transaction EXCEPT the
account you chose to work in. If you think about that for a second it
may become obvious why that should be so.
Which means ---- If you are trying to correct a transaction that has an
account of "Imbalance" (an account was not specified; gnucash used the
default account "Imbalance") you can't fix that from within the
"Imbalance" account. Sure, you find these transactions that need fixing
by seeing what transactions, if any, are in the "Imbalance" account.
Then in each one see the other (or of a split, others) and go to that
transaction there. NOW you can specify the correct account instead of
"Imbalance".
You were probably looking for/expecting a different process. What
gnucash is doing is letting "Imbalance" be just like any other account,
no special process.
