First of all, welcome.

Just for a data point, I've been using GnuCash 5.3 and have had no such
issues with reconciliation. I always open GnuCash by clicking on the
GnuCash application, never on a data file. I actually run GC on both an
iMac and on Windows (the data file is on a shared network device). I have a
Linux box (Ubuntu 22) with an older version of GC, but I don't run it there
very often.

I thought I saw something like this happen when I was getting online stock
quotes... it **COULD** be that the stock quotes programs doesn't look for
the LCK file and over-wrote my data entries, but I didn't think I did this.
It's the closest I can come to your situation.
