             Bug #: 31674
           Summary: Wine 1.5.6 breaks Quicken 99 import of .qif files;
                    special text character handling problem
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.5.12
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: drt781 at yahoo.com
    Classification: Unclassified


Have been using Quicken 99 for years via Wine.  Upgraded from OpenSuse 12.1 to
OpenSuse 12.2, and with it Wine 1.5.6 broke import function for .qif files. 
When I try to import a local .qif file (containing transactions) the operation
completes "successfully" but resulting table of data is corrupted.  Quicken 99
now, newly, incorrectly interprets .qif files.  Uses current date for most
transactions (instead of historical), and appears to have mangled, shifted,
and/or truncated fields.  Where 2d field frequently was blank, 3d field shifted
into its place in truncated form.  None of the fields displayed correctly. 
Dollar amounts also incorrect; inaccurate and too large by a factor of x100, as
if Q 99 failed to see decimals, but the cents still are not rounded (as would
be expected if decimal was just dropped) and the amounts are not familar.

Only the imported data is corrupted; pre-existing data ok.  Looks like a
possible problem/change in handling special characters in plain text import
files, such as following symbols: ' , and .  Possibly also following:  * and / 
  The ^ character separated transactions; may have been read ok.  Don't think
that would explain the entire problem, though.

Problem also exists under Wine 1.5.12, not resolved.  This will make it much
harder to use Q99.
