While I certainly understand the concern that editing a transaction dereconciles it, there are a couple of points I'd raise.
First, if you are editing a reconciled transaction, you are probably pretty aware of it (and the dialog message Gnucash puts up should make it obvious). Second, editing a reconciled transaction in most cases should be an exceptional event; if your practice is to change these after reconciliation, then it falls to you to consider the ramifications. Finally, it is not too burdensome to simply rereconcile your account after you've changed your transactions. All of which is to say that Gnucash uses reasonable assumptions about the predominant use cases, and acts (IMO) in reasonable ways to common use actions in this specific regard. David T.

However I find the notion of unreconciling a transaction to be strange. Reconciliation is normally about matching a group of transaction to an external document such as a bank or credit card statement. Changing the flag from y to n of one or more transactions breaks the reconciliation. What is the casual user supposed to do at this point? At minimum the user should be given the option of preserving the reconciliation flag. Popping up a warning puts the user on notice that there may be a material change but the user is responsible for deciding this and what to do about it.
