Quicken for Mac Improvement Suggestion - Account Projection Calculation

Show Projected Balance in Sidebar requested update.
Currently when this is selected it shows the projected balance update for the Banking and Property & Debt areas but does not update the Investing area (which includes Brokerage and Retirement categories).
Although for the most part Investments should be linked to online accounts and be dynamically updated and therefore not have to be projected into the future, there are situations in which they do need to be projected regardless if they are linked or not. One example is: within the retirement account you have an annuity that grows at a set guaranteed interest rate until withdrawals these set interest disbursements can be projected with each yearly date recorded in your quicken retirement account using manual entries. So todays value may be $1,000 its future value may be $1,500.
I have used quicken Windows and Mac for years and like to use the Show feature as a quick way to see my current net worth and distribution across accounts and at one time this feature worked as expected, however, now I cannot get an accurate quick view as it does not include the Investing area in the projections.
I would appreciate Quicken considering this update. If Quicken chooses not to implement it I would like to know the rational as to why it is not implemented.
BTW - I do get around this using custom reporting, but I shouldn't have to do this work around.
