[GNC] Reconciliation

If I correct a typo in an already reconciled transaction, version 3.7 of GnuCash seems to change the status of that transaction to unreconciled. Is there any way I can prevent this from happening? A previous version would simply warn me that I was changing an already reconciled transaction but
