Description Charles Day 2008-01-26 11:26:31 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
During import, new GnuCash commodities may be created. If the import is canceled, these commodities should be removed, but they aren't.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start GnuCash with the --nofile option.
2. Begin importing a QIF file containing a transaction involving a QIF security (such as the example attached).
3. At the final step of the druid, click Cancel.
4. Open the Security Editor (Tools -> Security Editor)

Actual results:
There is a commodity listed in the Security Editor.

Expected results:
There should not be any commodities listed in the Security Editor.

Does this happen every time?
Yes.

This isn't limited to the QIF importer.  It happens in all of them.
Indeed, in the OFX/HBCI importer new accounts will also be left even if you cancel the import.

I just dont see this as a huge bug, honestly.
Comment 3 Charles Day 2008-01-26 20:36:17 UTC 
No, I don't think it's a huge bug either, so I only used a "minor" severity. I guess the OFX/HBCI importer is in worse shape, at least as far as canceling goes. It shouldn't be hard to fix, I think, though I'll have to dip my toe into the C code. (But I'm far more comfortable with C than Scheme anyway.)
Comment 4 Charles Day 2008-04-16 21:29:56 UTC 
Fix committed as r17088. Requesting backport for 2.2.
Comment 5 Andreas Köhler 2008-04-26 14:53:20 UTC 
Applied to branches/2.2 as r17112 for GnuCash 2.2.5.
Thanks a lot!
