Details:

In the Windows 20170909 version of PSPP, both 32 and 64 bit, (but I found this
issue in previous releases too) I cannot use the GUI for "Import data...".
When I choose a file browsing folders (any file: TXT, CSV, XLS) and click on
Next button I get an all blank window with just the buttons in the below right
corner and one only writing on the left navbar ("Select file to import").
If I click on Finish and then Paste I get the syntax code, but I cannot
interact graphically with the software to choose details about importing
data.

In some not clear conditions I can have the software behave normally and I can
see in the window all dropdown, radiobutton, checkboxes, grid,... I am
supposed to see.
I could say this normal behavior happens only with very short paths, while the
abnormal with long paths. But it si not so deterministic.
