KMyMoney truncating payees

[Simon Metcalfe]

Hi Brendan,

Thanks for helping.  This is happing with a brand new KMY file and
importing the QIF is literally the first thing I did, so there is no data
to match with.  The truncating of payees happens during the first import.

Are the any matching settings I can set to prevent this from happing before
the first import takes place?

Thanks
