Transactions disappearing before match dialog

[John Ralls]

I think, based on the comment https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/1fda575c5b21c10bde538f593b5fb2d64b850e01/gnucash/import-export/import-main-matcher.cpp#L358 that it’s supposed to prevent a transaction being presented for more than one import. Since you have one of these checks a week I guess you’d have 4 in a monthly download. That might be a rare occurrence	so that function doesn’t get exercised much.

Regards,
John Ralls
