Verified issue does not already exist?

Client Version: v25.12.0

What happened?

In an account view having many reconciled and unreconciled transactions spanning over many dates, when hiding the reconciled transactions and selecting multiple (unreconciled) transactions by using SHIFT + Click, the selection also includes the hidden reconciled transactions. This is observed by noticing the count in the "X transactions" menu (it doesn't reflect the visible selected rows) and when deleting the selected transactions, it also deletes the hidden reconciled transactions.

Workaround is to select "Show" from the "X transactions" menu to see the correct view of the selected transactions, then the "X transactions" menu has the correct count and operates on the correct rows.

How can we reproduce the issue?

  1. In the account view, select "Hide reconciled transactions" from the 3 dots menu in the top right.
  2. Select one (unreconciled) transaction from the account view by clicking in the checkbox to the left.
  3. Hold down the SHIFT key and click the checkbox for another unreconciled transaction further down, such that many transactions are selected.
  4. Observe that the "X transactions" menu also has a count including the hidden reconciled transactions.
  5. From the "X transactions" menu, delete the transactions. Observe that some of the reconciled transactions are also deleted.

Research direction
Investigate the selection logic in the transaction table component, likely located in src/components/accounts/ or similar. Focus on the shift click handler that selects multiple rows. The bug is that it selects all rows including hidden ones instead of only visible (unreconciled) ones. Review how the visible rows are filtered and ensure the selection uses the filtered list. Consider adding a test to confirm selection works correctly with hidden transactions.
