Description Daniel Winkler 2006-07-12 16:03:55 UTC 
Please describe the problem:
When booking an invoice, one has to set an A/R account. If the full account name contains the account separator character, this account cannot be used.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Book an invoice
2. select account that contains the separator character (":" e.g.)
3. click "ok"


Actual results:
An error occurs that no account was selected

Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
yes

Other information:
workaround: remove all separator characters from account names
Comment 1 Derek Atkins 2006-07-12 18:18:16 UTC 
I'm taking this...  The problem is that xaccGetAccountFromFullName() was changed in r13467 and during the restructuring the behavior was changed.  I've fixed this in r14488 in trunk and after vetting by other devs will backport to the 2.0 branch.
Comment 2 Derek Atkins 2006-07-15 14:19:29 UTC 
Vetted by chris, who added r14496.
Comment 3 Derek Atkins 2006-07-15 15:06:59 UTC 
Backported to 2.0 in r14504.
