Lisa It may help if you can tell us what the previous version was and which version you have now upgraded to.
On the reconciliation setup dialog under the Ending Balance entry there is a checkbox "Include subaccounts" which AFAIK by default is not checked. Try selecting that when starting the reconciliation and see if that restores some of the functionality you are used to. As far as I can tell once you have selected that option in the dialog for a given account it remains in force for subsequent reconciliations until you unselect it again but I am not completely sure how sticky that option is and whether it does set a flag in the account structure. Any reconciliation process only acts on a single account and as such only marks the splits of a transaction into that that account. You do not reconcile a whole transaction unless you have individually reconciled all accounts that the transaction has splits to. Splits to an account which has not been reconciled will generally be marked with a "n" ( and maybe a "c" in some cases) and splits to a reconciled account with a "y". If a previous version of GNuCash did do this then that behaviour was incorrect. I have been using GnuCash for a similar period of time and I can't recall any version in which a whole transaction not just the split was reconciled.
