I have had that happen to me as well.  I suspect that in earlier
releases that particular warning is constructed in such a way that the
default action is to clear the warning if the user is careless and
misses the "change split" box when clicking.  Now is should be possible
to select "Remember and don't ask me again this session" if we want to
change several transactions.
