How do I correct a placeholder when none are showing for an account?

:/ I'm trying to enter a simple sale and transfer cash transaction manually. Pop up says a placeholder exist on same data so no effect will be given to share balance. The transaction does not transfer the cash and no editing helps. Yet - no placeholder transactions appear for the account. BTW - all of my placeholder issues were created when I upgraded back in April.
Was this a bad release?

If you haven't already, I suggest you check the Show hidden transactions preference and review the account's transaction list for any Entry or Added transactions without an Inv. Amt.
Otherwise, I suggest you try the Copy and Validate instructions described in https://www.quicken.com/support/advanced-data-file-troubleshooting-correct-problems-quicken-windowsQuicken user since 1997

Thank you - you are a genius! There was a hidden transaction which I could simply delete! I didn't know about this preference. :)
Note: Placeholder transactions are also used to establish the initial holdings in a manual account.
