I've tried that qif file, and it does not touch the (Brokerage) file on
my system, so that does appear to be a regression from 1.X.  The rest
of the screen capture is the same.

I've never seen other than "statement balance is not contained in the
statement" !  I'm not sure how that would appear in a qif file.

The v4.5 version was basecd in v1, but a major rewrite was necessary to
convert from KDE3/Qt3 to KDE4/Qt4.  Since then, I don't recollect any
significant change.  So, this may be an omission in v4.x.  In fact, I
just discovered that category list imports could not have worked
properly.

I'll get back now to the brokerage issue.  Oh, I think you said earlier
that you were able to enter those transactions manually?  How did you
enter the 'IntInc' entries, with it not being an available choice?
