OFX importer and transaction matcher problems

GNUCash 1.8.8 on RH9.

I'm importing an OFX file with about 180 transactions and am
experiencing some strange behaviour in the generic import
transaction matcher.

1) There's a transaction that only gets a confidence score of
    2 bars, even though I do have a manually entered transaction
    in the correct account with the exact amount and date of the
    transaction i'm importing.

2) Similar, but worse. For another transaction my manually entered
    transaction doesn't even get shown in the list of possible
    matches, even though other transactions from both earlier and
    later dates (and widely varying amounts) are shown.


And while I'm whining about that, let me add a couple of requests
and questions too:

1) Is there a way (modifying the sources if necessary) for me to
    set the matcher to never show or match anything where the amounts
    differ more than $1 ? (Actually, exact match amount-wise would
    be fine too)

2) What's the beaviour if you match two of the imported transactions
    to the same already existing transaction?

3) Is there a way to have the importer show all transactions in the
   file you're importing? Currently it won't show transactions you
   already imported (and any transactions you left in red if you
   tried importing it before)


Thanks for a great program
and any help you can give
me with these :)

J.
