            Bug ID: 415548
           Summary: The character < as part of a matched transaction which
                    was imported causes load to fail
           Product: kmymoney
           Version: 5.0.7
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: file
          Assignee: kmymoney-devel at kde.org
          Reporter: tbaumgart at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
If an imported transaction contains the character < with some following text
(thus looking like an XML tag) as part of the memo field and this transaction
is matched against another one on file but not accepted and the file is saved
in this state it cannot be loaded anymore.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a sample file with two accounts A and B
2. Create a transaction from account A to B and the text "TEST <TEST" as memo
(w/o the quotes)
3. Save the file as XML
4. Modify the transaction in an editor to have the transaction memo attribute
the contents of the split memo attribute and save the file
  (this is what the state after import is)
5. Restart KMyMoney
6. Duplicate the transaction
7. Select both and match them
8. Save the file
9. Reload the file -> Boom

OBSERVED RESULT
File fails to load

EXPECTED RESULT
File is loaded without data loss

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
If you skip steps 3..5 above one can load the file but information about the
matched transaction is lost. The cause is the same: escaping of XML content
does not work properly.
