Here is small request for improvement, the Categories window is missing a search bar. I often find myself looking for a particular category, for example to find out if there is any duplicate, and this is quite tedious without a search field.

Such a search bar exists already for Payee, Tags, Actions, Securities, but not for Categories.

Created a separate Idea thread

I agree. But John, there is a "hidden" search feature. It works like this. Type a couple or a few letters of what you are looking for. Quicken will jump down to the first category containing those letters. Not the one you want? Then wait a couple seconds and type the letters again. There's a bit of an art to knowing how long to wait before typing the letters the 2nd time. But once you get used to it, it is pretty efficient.

That said, I think most people have more categories than tags or actions. So categories deserves a search field too.

Moving to appropriate thread

Just a note that RickO's very useful comment became separated when the original was moved to a new thread. Here: https://getsatisfaction.com/quickencommunity/topics/add-a-search-bar-to-the-categories-window

I am running the latest update for Mac.

I did a tax schedule report and noticed that on-screen long-term capital gains don't show the totals at the top of the report for the 'Proceeds' column, only for the Cost Basis and Gain/Loss columns.  I have to export as a CSV and then import into Excel or Numbers to get the Proceeds total.  

Seems odd as the Short-term totals for all columns show.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled Merging to v5.5.I am noticing a 'beach ball' cursor on Mac more with this most recent release.  If I change just about any view, I get a beachball.  Running latest Version on a MacBook Pro running latest OS with 16gb of memory.

Not sure where performance is in the priorities, but it seems like the program should not have as many lags as it appears to have on Mac, particularly having come from the Windows world last fall where the program was definitely more responsive to screen changes or other selections.
