Liz: If I understand correctly, at some point intentionally or unintentionally you were able to move a previously reconciled transaction from one account to a different account without changing the reconciliation status. I just tried that in release 3.8 and I received a warning that the reconciliation will be cancelled.
Do you remember which release of GnuCash you were using at that time? I cannot test release 4.2 so I cannot check whether a new bug report needs to be filed. I believe that user action is equivalent to my previous description of changing the account GUID of a given split line which has a reconciliation status of 'Y'. If not, someone please enlighten me.
