[GNC] Transactions for multiple accounts in 1 ofx file?

[Chris Good]

Hi David (Cousens),

The problem only occurs if you have transactions exported from multiple bank
accounts in a single .ofx file.
I have found this in GnuCash 4.5 but don't know about other versions. There
were modifications to ofx processing in 4.2.

Regards,
Chris Good

Chris,

I import OFX files from my bank with transfer transactions between three
bank
accounts and between all of those accounts and a credit card account
reasonably
regularly. I reconcile all accounts and have never noticed any discrepancies
in
the past. Is this any particular GnuCash version? I haven't imported
anything
for a month or two so haven't yet imported using V4.4 or 4.5 .
