[GNC] Import QIF problems on v5

[Alex HS FUNG/GLD]

Dear all,

I’ve been using GNUcash quite a while. Things have been fine on v4.10.1. I noticed v5 yesterday and downloaded the latest stable v5.10 on a second machine. Import a QIF (about 200 transactions) and ran into a weird problem.

Many (I haven’t counted) transactions were accepted successfully into my accounts, while many didn’t. They didn’t appear in my accounts, Imbalance or Orphan.

I have visually looked at a handful of successful and unsuccessful transactions and didn’t find any particular criteria of success/failure.

Then I move to my other machine, which is running v4.10.1. The offending transactions are imported successfully.

A sample failed import (disappears on v5, imported successfully on v4) is below:

!Account

Regards,
Alex
