 Priority:  normal                            |  Milestone:  7.2.1
Component:  Database                          |    Version:  7.2.0
 Keywords:  v.what, kml, 'valid JSON format'  |        CPU:  OSX/Intel

----------------------------------------------+-------------------------
 I have imported a kml file that contains contours of a feature of
 interest. Functionally an x,y,z data set.  It displays correctly in GRASS.
 When queried to determine the value of z, the attached error is given that
 indicates a lack of conformance with JSON formatting.  The values of z are
 given for the feature in the error message but additional processing such
 as v.to.rast does not work.  GRASS is able to label the contours
 correctly.   Using the attribute table manager is not much help - it
 produces an error that indicates 'Inconsistent number of columns in
 table'.

 I see that there is a bug report (3133) that reflects the same problem but
 has been fixed in 7.0.5 - I'm getting the 'same' error in 7.3.svn. (on OS
 X 10.10.5)

 The error message is too long to fit on the monitor - and is not
 scrollable, so the full content is not visible.

 Anna Petrášová diagnosed the problem as multiline strings in the
 'description' column and suggested deleting it.  That resolved the problem
 but is not a complete solution where that column is needed.
