How to select multiple purchase lots when selling bonds?

When selling a block of stock it is easy to select various purchase lots. However, for a bond sale, the buy lots are shown in a drop-down list. I can highlight only one. It is not possible to select more than one lot. I just sold a block of bonds representing three buy lots. I could enter the transaction only by not selecting any lots. How can a user assign buy lots?

    It gets worse. After I entered the transaction without selecting any lots, I looked at the Schedule D Capital Gains & Losses Report. Quicken randomly selected one of the three lots and "reported" that I had bought 80 bonds and sold 135 bonds, posting a huge capital gain. What nonsense.
