I recently added a second checking account to my gnucash file.  When I download
OFX files from my bank, gnucash insists on associating the OFX import with my
oldest checking account, instead of the new one that it belongs with.

1. I've checked the OFX contents and everything seems OK.
2. I can download and import an OFX file for the oldest checking account, and
everything seems to work OK.
3. If I open up the OFX file (to the new account) and scrape out the <ACCTFROM>
container, gnucash will ask which of my Asset accounts it belongs to, I can
select the new checking account, but this 'binding' appears to only affect the
first one or two entries in the OFX dialog interface window.

Furthermore, the OFX dialog interface window isn't being completely rendered,
there are missing lines and such.  All this sounds very similar to what was
described on gnucash-user about a week ago:
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2007-October/022056.html

I cannot rollback to a 2.0 version of gnucash, because it seems 2.0 cannot read
the 2.2 file format.  As it is, I'm stuck (outside of hand entry of the OFX,
which is a particularly loathsome idea since OFX has worked so splendidly in
gnucash up until now).

This can be worked around by following the slot removal instructions in
gnucash bugzilla #98963:

So if my understanding is correct, what happened is that the first time
you imported your new OFX file, you incorrectly associated it with the
old checking account. And the problem is that GnuCash does not provide a
convenient way to change the association between OFX files and accounts,
as described in the upstream bug report that you mentionned.

I’m therefore changing the title of this bug to match that of the
upstream bug report, and I’m also lowering the severity to wishlist
since it is essentially a request for a new GUI element.

Best,
