I have a problem for which I cannot find any answers in the forums.
I'm a reasonably new user of KMyMoney and have been pleasantly surprised
with it.
But, recently, it changed the opening balance line in such a way that
the deposit figure is correct but the balance figure is different. </font>

It (i.e. KMyMoney) certainly does not change anything by itself without
user intervention. Since you don't mention the version you use<font color="#ff0000">(5.0.6)</font>, I can only
provide some generic hints. Did you change the sort order of the ledger?
You can do that by right clicking on the header. Double clicking on an
entry in the right column of the sort options dialog changes between
ascending and descending.<font color="#ff0000">(I have tried this back and forth to no avail)
</font>
Are those 4 entries you talk about show up before the opening balance transaction?<font color="#ff0000">(no)</font>
Then the behavior is normal, as the balance is calculated and not stored
in a persistent manner. Does the total balance match the one of the real
account?<font color="#ff0000">(no, it always matches what it should + the addition of the 4 entries as if they are in there twice)</font>

<pre class="moz-quote-pre" wrap=""><font color="#0000ff">through much searching, I have found that the difference between these
two values is as if 4 later entries were duplicated as if they were done
prior to the opening balance being added. These 4 entries were all put
in one after the other on the same date with other entries both before
and after them on that same date. the 4 entries are still recognised in
the correct place (they are all counted twice). I have tried deleting
and re-entering them but this makes no difference as the error in the
opening balance line till remains.</font>

I doubt it is an error ;) I don't exactly understand what you explain here.
If you can, provide a screenshot and black the sensitive areas.</pre>
