Jack,

Here are the steps I take:

1. From the main screen click on Payees

2. Scroll down to the Payees I want to merge.  (In my case Petsmart, 
PetsMart and PetSmart)

3. Select all three (at this point there are transactions listed under 
all three)

4. Click on Merge

5. Popup appears asking if I really want to merge the payees.  (I click 
on Yes)

6. Popup appears asking me to select a payee to merge everything into.  
(I select PetSmart and click OK)

7. The error popup occurs that I detailed in the Bug Report.  (I click 
on OK)

8. All three Payees are still there.  When I click on them, all 
transactions are gone.

I should note that I have successfully done merges before without any 
problems.  The problem only occurs when the error I described in the bug 
report happens.

If I were to hazard a guess as to what is happening, I would say it is 
something like:

When a merge is requested, all transactions are gathered and put in a 
temporary spot and removed from the original Payees.

When successful, the Payee selected for the merge gets all of the 
transactions.  (It may be created as a new Payee).

When a failure occurs, the temporary storage gets deleted and since the 
transactions were already deleted from the original Payees, they are 
gone and there is no way to restore them.
