Changing the description won't change the reconciled status of a transaction in most versions of GnuCash.
There was a period of time when any edits of a reconciled transaction would cause everything associated with the transaction to de-reconcile, but maybe you're not using one of those versions* (prior to 4.13, which is what I'm using on Windows). But, ultimately, the worst that could happen (aside from a cataclysmic crash and the end of the world as we know it) is that the transaction gets de-reconciled, and you have to reconcile it again. Not such a big deal. David T. * yet another reason to specify your GnuCash version and operating system, BTW.
