Thanks for the hint, David. But its more broken than that. Many/most of my
imports match correctly. The groceries one has been manually assigned
dozens or hundreds of times and the match algo always fails. Do any of the
parameters in the preferences make a difference?

The memo field in the imported qfx file is kind of long for this company:
BUFFALO M BUFF HARDWICK VT POS PURCHASE/PIN DDA 098894
and it is always the same. It has a special character in it. Somehow it
baffles the import matcher.

Sorry, I forgot the basic info, but the matcher has failed this way for
(probably) years:
Gnucash 3.4
MacOS 10.14.3
