It does. It now belongs in a different account, and the refresh causes it to disappear. I hope no-one is considering stopping this behaviour. I've found it very useful in the past when I've wanted to move a whole stack of transactions from one account to another (or several others). An example might be where I've just decided that I really need to break a generic expenses account out into more specific accounts. For example, I might want to break Expenses:Catering out into Expenses:Catering:Food, Expenses:Catering:Wages, Expenses:Catering:Subcontract, etc). This is much easier to achieve from Expenses:Catering, than from the appropriate asset account they were paid from because some were paid in cash, some were paid by cheque, etc. (and in any case, from Expenses:Catering its very easy to see what has been forgotten). Of course, Derek's comments about the reconciliation flag are very valid, though in the example mentioned above it would be very irritating to have to respond to a "This split has been reconciled, Proceed Y/N?" message for each and every single one..... Maybe we need a "Bulk Update" mode (or maybe a "Power User" mode) which could be enabled for a single session that would disable all these sorts of messages (or, for even better functionality - would ask once for each account "Proceed Y/N?" and remember that response).
