Description allan 2012-12-17 13:12:48 UTC

When importing a QIF file, and the window for account selection opens, if the drop-down list is opened, it obscures the Create button.  If the account required is not in the list, it is not possible to create a new account as the drop-down won't close.
It is necessary to abort and restart the import, although if there is an account in the list, albeit not the required one, if that account is selected, the drop-down does close and an account may be created.
However, this is not very intuitive.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Import a qif file.
2.In the Account Selection window, open the drop-down.
3.Assuming the account required is not in the list, attempt to create a new account.
4.The Create button is hidden.
Actual Results:  
as above.

Expected Results:  
The Create button should be visible.

Either it is necessary to restart the import, or, if possible, to select another account from the list and then gain access to the Create button.

Will hittind <ESC> or <TAB> close the drop-down?  (I don't have a QIF file handy to test.)

Yes, as will Skip, and as the OK button happens to be enabled, that too.  Also, as I've just found, a right click in the box, or on a button.  But, still, not very intuitive.

I'm thinking from the point of view of a new user, who would probably be inclined to think that there is no such button.  Perhaps the Create button should be moved out of the way.  I don't think above the combo would be right.  It could be moved to the right, which perhaps is not very logical.  Ideally, it should go lower, where a filled combo won't hide it.  Perhaps with the other buttons at the bottom?

Pushed by conet into branch 'master'.

Improve the import account selection dialog.

Move the 'Create' button to the left of the account selector combo so
that it's visible even when the completer is open.
