GtkAssistant overlay when huge number of account

[Marc]

Exported a large Quicken file with about 20 years of transactions from Quicken 2016 into a QFX file from and when I try to import the QFX file into Homebank using File -> Import, the QFX file is listed as invalid and gui won't let me process. Filter would not see lowercase qfx, but even after renaming to capital QFX, window dialogue will not let me process file.

* Arch Linux 5.07
* Homebank version 5.2.3

I did not find a similar reported bug or a reference to a fix in 5.2.4 release notes.

QFX file format is handled by 3rd party libofx library (not developped, supported by me)

try to run from a terminal: ofxdump <yourQFXfile> to see if you can see some interesting messages

also try to export from quicken to QIF and not QFX

The output from ofxdump indicates that the file format isn't supported:

ofxdump EXPORT.QFX
LibOFX INFO: libofx_proc_file(): File format not specified, autodetecting...
LibOFX ERROR: libofx_detect_file_type(): Failed to identify input file format
LibOFX INFO: libofx_proc_file(): Detected file format: UNKNOWN (File format couldn't be successfully identified)
LibOFX ERROR: libofx_proc_file(): Detected file format not yet supported ou couldn't detect file format; aborting.

Specifying the format with -f OFX didn't change anything and no additional debug messages with msg_debug. I think Quicken is using some proprietary changes so their QFX file is probably not standards compliant.

After that, I gave up on the QFX file and tried with a QIF file. There's a lot of accounts in my file (more than 70) and the window scrolls off screen (see attachment), which makes it difficult to process the file. Perhaps a scrollbar would help. I was able to blindly use the keyboard to process all the files and it looks like the data is there.

yes I know about the lack of a scrollbar, which is a GTK problem for the moment.
HomeBank uses a native assistant GTk+ class, and they did not consider a scrollbar may be required here. SO at a point I maybe should migrate to my own assistant class.

this will hopefully chnage with GTK4
if not this could be reopened
