How to Corrupt Your File in 4 Easy Steps:

  1. Copy a transaction that has attachments.
  2. Paste the transaction on a new line.
  3. Click the paperclip icon.
  4. Close the Transaction Attachments window (your choice, X or Done).

At this point, the attachments on the original transaction have been deleted. They are now moved to your new transaction.

Bonus round for extra corruption:

Paste the transaction again on this same new line. Once you do this, the attachments are gone forever (except they still exist in the data file, but you can't access them, forever taking up space you'll never get back).

Expected behavior: Never modify the original (i.e. copied) transaction when "copying" it!

Verified bug in R54.9.
