I doubt it is related, but after all, you never know. I think the focus is the 
problem here. In case you click the mouse, the focus moves to the editor and 
things are back to normal. I'll take a look into this issue.

I don't see a problem with this. Maybe, we should have a general section about 
online updates (and we see OFX, HBCI and maybe QIF here) as opposed to the raw 
QIF import. Also, we now differentiate between a QIF statement import and a 
QIF import from another application. Don't ask me about the details of that 
difference, but if necessary, I can study my own code :)
