Verified issue does not already exist?

What happened?

When importing an OFX file to add missing transactions due to broken bank connection in Simplefin not all transactions match up. The files were the same with a transfer between accounts transaction that was imported as a duplicate. When two were imported that were deposits, the payee field is importing as a different name than what Simplefin imported and they do not match. It appears that the imported payee from the OFX file is either a truncated version of the notes field or Actual Budget is displaying a truncated version of the imported payee when I hover over the payee.

How can we reproduce the issue?

Import Simplefin transactions and then download an OFX file from the same period and import those transactions. Some but not all will match.

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Chrome

Operating System

Mac OSX

Do you have a suggestion on what should be done? If the data is different then its hard to consistently match them.
