Reconciled Transactions changed back to Cleared - at least two different accounts

One Checking account and one Line of Credit. Many transactions, going back over two years, suddenly got their reconcile status changed.
I just noticed this issue today because I am reconciling accounts against monthly statements. I did not notice this issue when I reconciled these accounts a month ago.
Any ways to prevent this from happening again?

I'm not sure if this will do the trick, but it might.
- Periodically, like maybe every month, protect historical transactions by File > Set passwords to modify transactions... You can still modify past transactions if you need to, you just need to enter the password to do so.
- Do Edit > Preferences > Notify and make sure "Before changing reconciled transactions" is checked.
What you've described should not happen and I assume it's not "user error" but it could be some sort of data corruption if the file itself.0
