[GNC] foreign currency bank account import

Hi -

I import a USD bank csv file where GBP is my base currency

All transactions are properly linked to a transfer account, some of these are USD some are GBP.

GNU Cash makes the transactions which are linked to a GBP transfer account a split transaction and tries to link to [consistently the same two] transfer accounts which I had not specified. I think it is attempting to do the FX conversion but it gets it the wrong way round. It also does not allow me to override and specify a [correct] non-USD transfer account.

If I manually enter a transaction as per my import file, it does not split the account and immediately asks me for the FX rate and I can get that and it converts it normally.

Is this a known issue with trying to import foreign currency bank accounts?

Thanks
