It might not be intuitive but it's not a bug: You've started an edit on the
transaction but the changes you've made aren't visible to the rest of the
program until you commit them by moving to another transaction, nor can any
other part of the program edit it.
The suggestion that reconciling an account should be permitted only if the
account has no transactions being edited is reasonable and should prevent both
problems.
