Double posting on Import of OFX files

I have 4 accounts at the same bank. I tend to transfer money between the
accounts.
Call them acct1, acct2, acct3, acct4.
In a simple case, let's say acct1 is used to transfer some money into each
of the other accounts (acct2, acct3, acct4).
When I download and import the OFX files from the bank into KMyMoney (the
latest 5.2.1) on my Fedora box and import them, I get these results....
Import acct1. I got the trans for acct1. And I get the corresponding
trans for the other three accounts (acct2, acct3, acct4) posted in those
accounts..
Now I import acct2. And it also posts that same transfer from acct1, not
only in acct2 because it is in the acct2.ofx file, but also in acct1
because that's where the money came from.
Ignoring acct3 & acct4 imports for now, we have double posting in acct1 and
acct2 for each transfer between acct1 and acct2.
This might help other people, but it drives me crazy. I now have to edit
both accounts and delete the duplicates created by the import ofx
operations.
And if I were to import acct3.ofx and acct4.ofx, I would get more duplicate
transactions. And even more work to clean up the mess it makes.
What if the ofx import had a checkbox that I could configure/set as needed
that would turn off that feature where an import (of acct1.ofx) of a
transfer of funds between acct1 and acct2 would not touch acct2 at all?
Then when I import acct2.ofx and set that same setting, it would post only
to acct2 and not to acct1.
I've searched the settings for KMyMoney, but have yet to find such a
setting that would fix my problem.
Can the developers (or anyone who thinks they have a fix) help me solve
this problem?
Sincerely,
Mark Vollmer
