Sorry in future I will include that information.
Debian 9 (Stretch)
Kmymoney version 4.100.0-024c3c
KDE Frameworks 5.27.0
Qt 5.7.1 (built on 5.6.1)
xcb windowing system

Yes it is a bona fide ofx file. I copied it across from kmm 4.8 data folder.
When I got the anomalous behavior in kmm5 I opened it and checked that it was not corrupted.
To make sure I then downloaded both a QIF and an OFX of the same statement from my bank.
The QIF imported OK (not checked thoroughly), but the OFX produced the same behavior as before.
I then checked that the OFX imported correctly into 4.8.

Yes no error message or clue. I wonder if running kmm from the terminal would yield any further info.
I am still rebooting back and forth so it is not as easy to try out any new ideas.
