--- Comment #1 from Sara Brown <[email protected]> ---
This status change happens even if the item already has a status of
'Available'.

This may be a somewhat niche set of circumstances, but it is an issue for some
libraries whose payments are handled by centralized offices (such as
school/university libraries).

Settings:
-UpdateItemLostStatusWhenPaid is set to 'Lost and paid for'
-Lost item charges are *not* automatically removed from patron accounts when
items are returned 

Scenario:
-Patron checks out an item
-Item is marked lost
-The account charge is reported to the centralized billing office
-Before the charge has been paid, the item is returned - this changes its
status to 'Available'
-When the library cancels the charge from the patron's Transactions tab, the
item status flips to 'Lost and paid for'. The same thing happens if the charge
is discounted from the Transactions tab.

Note that this library uses writeoffs for items that are still lost but whose
full cost will not be charged, so they don't want to use it for returned items
whose charges should be entirely cleared.
