Reinvested dividends are subtracted from share balance

I just installed Quicken 2018.  When I enter a dividend reinvestment on an stock account, I get 2 issues.  First issue is that Quicken says to not enter a dividend date after the last dividend's date.  Second issue is that the new reinvested dividend shares REDUCE my stock sharre balance.  How can this be fixed?

    QMac or QWin?

    And, can you post a screen shot of the balance reduction?

    Reduces the number of shares or the market value? You might have to enter a reinvested dividend as 2 transactions, a dividend and then a buy.

    I'm staying on Quicken 2013 Premier for Windows.

    QWin.  The transaction reduces the # of shares.  It looks like it's a placeholder that was never resolved.

    I've had a similar problem to your second issue, when I tried to correct a transaction that had been imported from Quicken 2007 for Mac. I found that my corrections were offset by "stealth" transactions that were created by Quicken 2018 and dated 2/26/92, at the very beginning of the journal. They were easy to spot because they were grayed out. Deleting them fixed the problem.
