[GNC] transaction impossible to reconcile

[Kalpesh Patel]

I have ran into this situation in the past. Even though you update certain items and balances, when you save it it reverts back to what it was originally there ... (I think it is a bug but haven't looked into it further). The way I have worked around is to fake it to look like a "new" transaction by updating ALL of the Shares, Price, Buy and Sell items for all splits. Even if the value is same, copy it into clipboard (in windows ctrl+insert), delete and then put it back from clip-board (shift+insert). You of course certainly can change any value if needed to correct it.

I'm fixing up a couple of old transactions that I didn't really record correctly, and here is one that is baffling me.

Attached you can find a screenshot of the journal.

What happened is that this company issued some options to its shareholders to to some capital increase.

So, the regular stock effectively got "split-off" for its option (that is also regularly traded, etc).
I've done pretty much the same in other situations with more standard business spin-offs (the O → ONL one comes to mind), but somehow here gnucash is refusing to let me go.
What is going on?
