Easier ability to edit transactions in closed accounts

While kicking the tires w/ Maxim, I noticed closed accounts keep transactions greyed out in Transaction form, yet we can double-click Date, Payee, Status and Payment fields to edit via the register. Is there an existing option to allow editing via Transaction form for closed accounts?

Related issue (bug?): When a closed account is Re-opened (via right-clicking the Account name), the currently-highlighted transaction remains greyed out in Transaction form until a different transaction is clicked.

And the reverse is true: When an open account is closed (via right-clicking the Account name), the currently-highlighted transaction remains available to edit in Transaction form, and *it accepts any changes via the form*, until another transaction is clicked, and then the Transaction form greys out again.

Thanks, I will tidy this up. To me it makes sense to not be able to modify transactions if the account is closed, and can also help prevent mistakes. Opening them is a quick process, where any changes can be made, before closing the account again.

What are other people's thoughts?

MS Money allows closed accounts to be transacted as if they're open ; I think 'hide closed accounts' was the main lever to shift away any lingering / defunct balances from total balances, similar to Maxim's behavior.

Perhaps add a prompt "Are you sure you want to modify this closed account?" with corresponding "Don't show again" option?
