[Kmymoney-devel] [kmymoney4] [Bug 332793] New: Editing multiple transactions simultaneously wipes out amounts

[Michael Garrison Stuber]

It does it consistently for me.   Before submitting the bug I did a git pull, make clean, make, and make install to ensure I had the latest code.

What's the best way for me to demonstrate this is happening?  (clearly if you can't reproduce it, you can't fix it.).  

Would a screen capture video help, or perhaps a sample file?
