      Note: I suggest to first try to reproduce the problem without applying the patch because I think that as the problem may be OS dependant we first need to ensure that the problem is happening on the test configuration to be sure it is fixed after applying the patch !!
      When both Moodle server and client are on a windows machine, the problem always happens.

      In a course with some questions create a match question containing a subquestion with several paragraphs (You can as the original reporter did for instance type some text and hit return to create an empty paragraph, but you can try other variations as long as there is several paragraphs in the subquestion text).
      Create a quiz in this course. You don't need to include the offending question in the quiz.
      Try to duplicate the quiz.
      Without the patch
      You get an error_question_match_sub_missing_in_db exception
      With the patch applied
      Duplication should not display any error.

      if the course's question bank contains Matching questions, error:
      even if the quiz being duplicated does NOT contain any matching questions!
      example with course containing just one matching question:
      // question: 43 name: match countries and capitals
      ::match countries and capitals::[html]<p>match countries and capitals</p>{
      =<p>France</p> -> Paris
      =<p>the US</p>\n<p> </p> -> Washington
      =<p>Italy</p>\n<p> </p> -> Roma
