Also the UI does not look that nice on OSX with the white and gray background changing in between.

Thanks for your report. I will try to reproduce it on other systems as well.
Could you please check if the Error Log contains further information?

@Siedlerchr I just checked, there is no output on the error console regarding this issue.

[boceckts]

@simonharrer any suggestions to the ui of the dialog can also be discussed at #1396

[Siedlerchr]

@boceckts Coud you please upload the test file you used, too?

[boceckts]

As the steps show I`m trying to create a new file rather than using an existing one. So there is no test file I used. Or did I miss understand what the "new file" checkbox does?

[Siedlerchr]

Confirmed on Win. Will prepare a fix PR.
