Hi Terry,

Thank you for following up with your solution.

And I can confirm that the link between a payment an invoice gets lost when you unpost an 
invoice. This was not the case in GnuCash 2.4 and before, but was introduced in 2.6 to 
prevent payment corruption that sometimes occurred.

Regards,
