How to show the Investment Amount on Securities Values?

Question

There is only one entry on my investment account - the initial investment amount for one security. Even so, Quicken is showing $200,000 more as Securities Values. It would be nice to have all this money but this is driving me nuts because I cannot trust Quicken calculations. The setup is to show current balance on account bar, which is showing the $200,000 increase. I am almost giving up using Quicken.

What is the name (and ticker, if available) of the security?  What was the cost of the initial purchase, and what quantity?

I did create a test file. Same issue. For some reason, even with one single line on the account the security value/market value at the bottom is wrong. I can't figure out.
