    Yes, it cropped up sometime in the last few months.  The new behavior is bad or good, depending on your circumstances. 

    If you want to enter a bunch of similar transactions, (e.g., reinvested dividends for a quarter), for one security it's terrible.  But if you want to enter a bunch of transactions for lots of different securities it's a benefit.

    Hard to say if the change was intentional or not.  It's not uncommon that making changes in one part of the program changes some behavior in a different part of the program.
