Description Jason Morgan 2009-01-04 12:13:41 UTC 
I had a crash every time I added an invoice line
I found that not including VAT in the invoice line prevented the crash
Strangly the list of possible VAT types was doubled up, with two entries for every VAT type in VAT Tables.

I changed the VAT table entry from "VAT (before 1st Dec 08)" and "VAT (to 1st Dec 08)" to "VAT 17.5 Percent" and "VAT 15.0 Percent" this cured the problem.

Conclusion: The brackets in the text field were upsetting some later processing.

Solution, either filter input text to remove disallowed characters or change the processing.

The attached file creates a test case for this crash
There is one account for VAT and two VAT table entries, both with brackets in their name.

See that on entering a new invoice, there are four VAT table entries.

On closing the invoice, if the VAT table entry is set, then GC crashes.

OS is Windows XP Pro with all latest updates
