Description renaud 2003-02-07 10:16:34 UTC 
The OFX files generated by my bank use the "." character as a decimal separator. 
 
I usually run GnuCash with the fr_FR locale, whose decimal separator char is ",". 
 
When importing OFX files, GnuCash seems to be expecting the locale's decimal 
separator, and when it comes across the ".", it truncates the decimal part without a 
warning. 
 
I don't know if it's a libOFX bug, because ofxdump correctly outputs the transaction 
amounts...
Comment 1 Benoit Grégoire 2003-02-12 15:16:12 UTC 
If ofxdump correctly outputs the numbers, it has to be a GnuCash bug.
 LibOfx send's the amounts to GnuCash as double, so I don't see how
the decimal separator could go wrong at that level.

I'll try to reproduce and track it down as soon as I have time.
Comment 2 Benoit Grégoire 2003-04-12 22:21:29 UTC 
Fixed in libofx 0.6.4  It was a libofx bug triggered by GnuCash
setting LC_NUMERIC.
