I was expecting the account type to change to checking.

Does this still happen?  If you make a copy of your data file, and try it on the copy, there is no danger to your original file, even if it does crash again.

No, it no longer crashes when I change the account type from chequing (current) to savings. However, it does not move the account to the savings type hierarchy in the accounts list. The account remains under chequing (current) type. I upgraded KMyMoney to version 5.0.8 since my initial bug report. The app is running on Linux Mint 20.2.

This will automatically get closed soon as worksforme, and I think that's OK, since changing account type works.

Changing account type does not change the position of the account in the  hierarchy, and it should not, in case the user explicitly placed it.  The original location under savings (in this example) was do to the initial account type, but since you might have changed the position to suit your own needs, the program will not change it for you.  For example, I have all my accounts (savings, checking, credit card, for example) from a single bank grouped together under a node in the hierarchy for that bank.
