--- Comment #7 from Peter J. Farley III <pjfarley3 at earthlink.net> ---
I would like to confirm this as an issue with the Windows versions of kMyMoney
4.7.2 and 4.8.0 on a Windows 7 system.  I haven't yet tried it on Windows 10.

I found that the workaround is to move the main kMyMoney and CSV importer
windows to a different positions on screen at the start of the import process. 
I move the main kMyMoney window to the upper left corner of the screen (that is
where the account selection window will appear) and the import wizard window to
the lower left corner.  Then after selecting the file, I move the file window
to the upper right corner.  Error message windows then appear in the center of
the screen and can be accessed.

The problem with the Windows implementation seems to be that all windows are
positioned initially at the center of the screen (or centered on the main
kMyMoney window) and that the import wizard window is "always on top" while the
error message windows and the account selection window appear "below" that
window.  So if you move the main kMyMoney window and the import wizard window
off the center of the screen then you can see and act on the error message and
account selection windows.

Hope that helps someone else using the Windows version.

Peter
