[GNC] Reconcile Status Redux: New Odd Behavior, or Is It Me Again?

[David T.]

Hello,

I know no one wants to hear from me these days, but I've noticed strange 
behavior with reconciled transaction entries in GnuCash 4.1 under 
Windows 10.

Specifically, when I edit the amount of a reconciled transaction entry 
(a.k.a. "split"), I receive a notice that I am attempting to edit a 
reconciled split (as is appropriate). After I confirm that I wish to 
change this entry, I am then taken into the entry, and I make my edit. 
When I change the amount, the reconcile flag changes to "n", but when I 
leave the split, *the split reverts to reconciled status.* I have tested 
this in a couple of different register types (commodity, cash), and I 
have tried both tabbing out of the split and using enter, with the same 
result.

Similarly, trying to change the date of the transaction as a whole gives 
this message; however, none of the reconcile status flags are changed in 
this case. The only instance in which I've been able to reverse the 
reconcile flag is to directly click the field in the register.

I don't recall now whether there has been a change in logic on this  
front, such that reconciled transactions are left reconciled except when 
the flag is directly changed. Previously, any attempts to alter a 
transaction resulted in its reconcile flag being turned off.

Does anyone else see this behavior, is it intended to be this way, or is 
it once again some odd setting that I have somehow managed to set?
