And it can happen if you have specified the wrong reconcile
statement ending date.
It usually means that the "Posting date" for the transaction is
outside the reconcile statement period.
I believe blank posting dates (which you get when you manually
add a transaction) are usually assumed to belong to any
reconcile, regardless of statement ending date.

You can also usually fix the problem by either specifying the
correct reconcile statement ending date or modifying the
transaction "Posting date" (by right-clicking the transaction,
then left-clicking "Copy transaction" and entering the correct
Posting date).
