Quicken cannot have a "/" in an account name. If you put it there, things go wrong with transfers. So Quicken should stop users from entering a "/" in the account name.

    This should actually be fixed as a bug.

    Adding a new offline account with an account name containing a "/" gave me this error message:

    What was the offending account name?
    And how was this account created in the first place?

    AFAIK, characters like ™ © ® should also be illegal in register names, especially when the bank account itself is the source of the account names.
