Bug when selecting Maximum Gain

When specifying Maximum Gain to choose lots of a security to sell, Quicken actually chooses lots which have a smaller gain than when specifying First Shares In. I have recalculated and repaired lots and the issue persists.

    I suspect the 1/24/12 Added transaction may be causing the issue.

    It's not a placeholder, it's a share balance adjustment. It was entered as 0.001 share.

    Set a cost and I suspect the issue will be resolved.

    Well, yes, I can alter the transaction. But it is a correct transaction as it stands. When you Update Share Balance with a positive result, the shares correctly get added with zero cost.

    No one said it isn't a correct transaction, however, it is interfering with Quicken's ability to select maximum gain properly.  If the cost basis was actually zero, the lot should always be selected for maximum gain.

    As I said, it's a bug.

    And again, no one said it wasn't a bug.
