Feature suggestion - allow commenting at time of reconciliation

[Russell Mercer]

Ben,

I am pretty sure what you want to do is already possible.  If you have the
reconciliation window open, double clicking on any entry will take you to
that transaction in the account register.  You can make any changes as
necessary then once you record changes, they are reflected in the
reconciliation window.

You can switch back and forth between the two windows as you need to, the
Reconciliation window does not lock anything out when it is open.

Hope this helps.
Russell
