Adjusting "Type" in AP transaction locks transaction

[Derek Atkins]

You should never edit A/R or A/P transactions by hand.

Quoting Duane Evenson <duane-maillists at shaw.ca>:

> If I change the "type" in a transaction in the Accounts Payable window
> to "I" (Invoice), the transaction becomes uneditable. I can't change
> anything in the transaction thereafter, either from the AP account
> window or from the corresponding other account windows. I can't even
> change the type to "P" (Payment) to fix this. If the type is "P", I can
> edit the transaction.

> I'm running 2.0.0 (gnucash-2.0.0-1.fc5).

> transaction type setting. (I'd mistakenly locked a number of payments as
> "I" when first setting this feature).

> Besides, if this is a feature and not a bug, I'll encounter it in later
