reinvested dividends are not tracked correctly.

Reinvested dividends are not tracked correctly. Dividends are put into cash. when they are reinvested it is never deducted from the cash account. the cash is always overstated. Please fix it.

I've the same problem with dividend transactions downloaded from Schwab.  Using MacOS Mojave 10.14.1.  QMac 2017 4.8.2.

It would be helpful if we had settings options to exclude investment transactions from All Transactions, and alternatively have them listed both under each Investment (as appropriate) and/or under a new All Investments window.

Still, if we had the option to permanently move selected transactions permanently to an Investment Transactions list (either by dragging or tagging them), and the investment itself was either updated during download (or if it was entered as an asset manually updated by the user), it would be less confusing (then being buried within the All Transactions list).

Thanks Rick.  Schwab transmits both types of transactions: 
- A single Reinvest Dividend, creating no problem Posting happens properly.
- A Dividend Income, increasing cash.  This is typically followed by a Reinvest Dividend transaction the next day, acquiring shares at $0 value.  Like you said, we have to edit this last transaction by changing "Reinvest" to "Buy" to deduct the proper cash, and get the proper cash balance in the account.  
I'll call Schwab to find out how they can help solve the problem.

OK, that solves most of my issues. I didn't realize I could do that.

Funny I have the same issue which started with the changeover with Schwab. I'm using the latest Quicken for windows R37.37. I look in my Schwab history and it reinvests dividends in one entry. Quicken does it incorrectly in 2. The first transactions is reinvest dividends however it lists the dividends but doesn't add anything to the cash. The second transaction says buy the stock and does deduct from the cash balance. This happened when the dividend was from a mutual fund.
