[GNC] Strange Imbalance transactions

[Brad Morrison]

Hi Fred/GNUCash users, 

First off, some basics: 

What operating system are you using? 

What version of GNUCash are you using?
https://gnucash.org/download.phtml shows that the current version is
5.10 

https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Importing.2FExporting_Data has some
info on importing data, as you mentioned a regular QIF import 

Regarding the stock purchase with 2 start & end transactions, 1 being
balanced and the other being imbalanced - are both entries for the same
transaction? Possibly meaning an importing error? 

Also, why is the account titled "Imbalance-USD" - ?
