Quicken locks up after downloading transactions!

I started Quicken today (after it updated) and downloaded my transactions as usual. But now, Quicken continually switches back and forth between full-window and full-screen modes without ever stopping or responding to clicks. It is entirely UNUSABLE!
For a long time I have been annoyed by Quicken's flipping between full-window and full-screen mode, but until now the flipping has always stopped after a couple flips. This latest update has made the mode-flipping continual and eternal.

    Why does Quicken EVER go into full-screen mode? I have never asked for that or wanted it. As I mentioned, it used to be merely annoying--it would flip back into window mode after a moment, and stay there so I could get work done. But now, the flipping just continues forever.

    I have found a workaround. When I minimize all other windows, Quicken no longer flips into full-screen mode at all.
