Drop Down box for memorized transactions

DC200

When entering transactions in the past, I would start to type the name of the Payee. This will pull a list of matching Payees that I could then use arrow keys to select the correct memorized transaction.

As of recent (not sure when it started), when I type a Payee name the drop down box comes up with all the matches highlighted - but I have to use the mouse to select the one I want. I know this may sound trivial, but I see no reason why it would have changed? Am I missing something?

Thanks for allowing me to vent.

You can still use the arrow keys on the keyboard to navigate the Payee List popup and press Enter to select the highlighted list entry. At least, that's how it works for me (and has always worked that way, no change)

BTW, are you using the arrow keys on the keyboard or the second set of arrow keys integrated into the numeric keypad's 2,4,6 and 8 keys? The latter only work as arrow keys if NumLock is off.

Thanks for the reply UKR.

I thought it odd if this feature was changed - so after getting your message, I did a validate and restart. The register drop down box is now working as it always has.

Not sure what happened, but all good for now.

Validate and restart fixed it...thanks, DC!

I think it is the restart that temporarily corrects the problem. I noticed the issue again last night, so I closed and re-opened Quicken - and no issue. I suspect it may come back and a restart will be needed.

Any others that leave Quicken always open noticing this issue?

UKR,

I am on R37.37 and no updates available. The Mondo is 36.48, so I did not apply.

I did a Validate and Repair earlier this week, and the issue resurfaced. I again did the V&R, so will wait and see.

If you haven't done so already, I'd say it's time to call Quicken Support on the phone and request help.  Let them do a screen share session with you to review the situation on your computer, to determine the nature of the problem and to figure out how to fix it.
