@"Quicken Marcus" There is a UI bug in 6.5.1 for Mac. If the mouse is clicked WITHOUT the command key being held down, and then the user presses the command key AFTER clicking, the click is processed as if a command-click was issued.

To reproduce this, (plain-)click on an account in the left sidebar, then press command. Instead of executing the click action of switching the main view to the clicked account, Quicken executes the command-click action of opening the account in a new window.

This bug was introduced recently, but possibly before 6.5.

The timing seems to be that it only happens if the Command key is pushed before the "in line" register display has had time to refresh. Depending on the speed of your system, this may be a longer or shorter interval. Given that this only occurs if you push the Command key very soon after clicking, it doesn't seem like a big deal (at least to me).

Well you must be very privileged to have a fast system. I am not. It worked fine until recently and should be a simple manner to fix. The event record that is generated when the user clicks the mouse notes the modifier keys pressed. Quicken is apparently disregarding the state of the modifier keys in event record and polling the keyboard. This is clearly a violation of the UI standards of the Mac that have been in place since 1981.

I disagree that it is not a big deal.

When downloading a Charles Schwab Account a Security within the Account is deleted.  This happened with the latest update to Quicken Mac.  I called Support and they confirmed the problem.  They could not solve it, and escalated it to a higher level of support.  I have a phone appointment almost 2 weeks away, but would appreciate your looking into this problem now.

Not sure if this was picked up by Quicken, but have seen others comment about it. On the investments dashboard, the top movers section - the header sorting high to low does not work in this section only. It sorts by absolute value - does not take the positive/negative into account like it does in the holdings section.

Personally I see that as a feature, not a bug. If I have several investments that go up by 1% and one investment that drops by 10%, I want the 10% drop at the top of the list - it was the biggest change.

That said, I'd agree with what @jacobs says in the following comment - I'm more interested in changes over a longer period of time rather than a single day.

@Robert Lynch The product manager has stated that this is by design and is working correctly. The goal of the "Top Movers" card, he says, is to show the securities with the greatest change, irrespective of whether the moves are up or down. If they sorted it by actual (signed) value, then it would show the same list as the Holdings card. 

I honestly don't know who finds this useful. I think the data in the Holdings card, which can switch between bigger gainers and losers at the click of the heading, would meet the needs of 99% or more of Quicken Mac users, so to me, this is a waste of space. I'd much rather see them offer a way to see gains and losses over a time period (week, month, YTD, year, 3 year, all time) than using this space for just single-day results. While I know some users want to see their results for a day, Holdings provides this — and most serious investors are much more concerned with results over time than over a single day.

After years of working seamlessly with Vanguard, I've been having all kinds of issues since early December. After a lot of work, I now have Quicken connecting to Vanguard, but only with Simple Tracking and not with the Detailed Tracking I used to have and want. When I try to use Account Settings to switch to Detailed Tracking, I get a message telling me Vanguard does not support downloading detailed investment information.......disconnect and manually enter investment transactions. I have tried resetting the Cloud account, but nothing seems to help. I have turned off the Sync function as well. In resorting to a backup, some of the Vanguard accounts do connect with Detailed Tracking. One does not. When I reset the connection to my accounts, I again lose Detailed Tracking.

I have brokerage and Retirement accounts setup (multiple). When I adjust columns (width and order) in the Portfolio View it is adjusting everywhere, using the Retirement or Brokerage to view the accounts within, or selecting the individual account within. Any changes made to the dashboard are propagated to all accounts portfolio view.

Is this by design? Is it a bug? Most of my columns are the same, except for my crypto investments, where the column width is needed to be bigger.
