            Bug ID: 348635
           Summary: CSV Importer can create Payee consisting of a single
                    or multiple space leading to erronous matching
           Product: kmymoney4
           Version: 4.7.2
          Platform: MS Windows
                OS: MS Windows
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: csvimporter
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: rob.vdm.82 at gmail.com

My bank issued CSV files have a  few Payee entries that contained a single
space. This created a Payee entry in kmymoney called " " and started matching
all subsequent Payto entries with a space somewhere in the name. 

Once I corrected my CSV and deleted the " " payee, import went as expected.

It would suggest to change Kmymoney and add some protection for this type of
matching, like ignoring 1 character matches, or changing the csv importer code
reformat " " to a truly empty field, or throw an error.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Import example CSV
2. Watch as it matches all payees to a single space

Actual Results:  
All blank payees

Expected Results:  
Not match nor create a single space payee
