Yes, there is a warning when one tries to edit a reconciled transaction to notify the user about the potential of messing up. However, I have run into this bug several times myself: Successfully reconciling and ending up with one unreconciled transaction.

This happens when the user edits one of the transactions without saving it prior to completing the reconciliation process.  The problem is reported as bug https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=777472

I'm using Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and my version of Gnucash is fairly old but based on the comments for that bug the problem still exists.

Isn't that one of the warnings in the reset warnings setting?

Adrien,

I have seen how easy it is to have this happen; I had an import that had
extraneous spaces in the Description field, and when I corrected that, the
transactions de-reconciled.

There were no warnings. I don’t believe I’ve ever set this option
anywhere; how would a user locate the setting in question?

Note that I’m not asking to reset all my preferences; I am asking where I
can see the setting that I ostensibly have previously set. If the UI
doesn’t expose this setting, is there a way to locate it from outside GC?

No, that’s very easy to accomplish. Most edits on a reconciled
transaction will unset the flag. You should get a warning, but you may have
dismissed it long ago. You can change this under Actions > Reset Warnings.
If that is the case, simply re-reconcile.

Regards,
Adrien

Not sure how it happened. I have suspicion-ed in the past that somehow
a reconciled transaction got un-reconciled.  Probably not possible, but
just not sure.

How did you successfully reconcile without selecting that transaction?
The ending balance should not have matched.

I have a transaction that was not reconciled in the previous month but
should have. Can I undo last months reconciliation and redo it? Or is there
a way to reconcile the transaction that got missed?
Thanks,Harold
