Is there a way to undo merging a transaction with a wrongly assigned scheduled transaction?

I can't explain why a transaction you expect to be a transfer is  
sometimes imported or merged as a charge.  I sometimes see that  
myself.  Note that it doesn't seem so strange if you remember that for  
KMM, all payees are treated behind the scenes as just another account.   
Money comes in or out of your account and then out of or into another  
account, which can either be a payee or another of your own accounts.

So, it IS possible to switch a transaction between them.  Note that a  
transfer cannot specify a category, so if a transaction is a  
charge/withdrawal, you need to remove the category before you can  
change it to a transfer.  Going the other way, you need to remove the  
transfer to/from account before you can change from a transfer to a  
deposit/withdrawal.
