Posting investment income in an investment account and trying to transfer these earnings to my check

Unknown

I am currently posting dividends, short term cap gains and long term cap gains in an investment account as income (not reinvested) and trying to transfer these earnings to my checking account in the same box. I indicate my checking account as the "Transfer Account"; however, when the money is moved to my checking account, it goes in as a deposit, but is instead SUBTRACTED from my total checking account balance. What's happening here?

None of the payments or deposits in the checking account appear to be affecting the balance correctly. Does exiting and restarting Quicken or re-sorting the register correct the balance as described in the linked discussion?

Good eye Jim.

The difference between the first two lines in the screenshot is $579.15 which is the amount of the first FUTURE transaction (a debit).  The diff between line 2 & 3 is the amount of the second FUTURE transaction.

It is as if the balance column was not recalculated after the two transactions were entered.

Also, do you have any filter set on the transactions in the checking register? Click the Reset button next to the selection boxes at the top to be sure.

@Jim Nelli,

Does re-sorting the register fix it?

YES, RESORTING THE CHECKING REGISTER FROM ASCENDING DATE TO DESCENDING DATE AND BACK AGAIN DOES WORK.
