When entering a transaction, why does Quicken highlight every item in the memorized payee list?
When entering a transaction into an account's register manually, Quicken highlights every item in the memorized payee list. Quicken didn't used to do this. Recall that the memorized payee drop-down list that appears when entering a transaction in the register consists of two columns, the payee name and the transaction category; each payee can have one or more categories, each being its own row in the memorized payee drop-down list.
Before this bug (that highlights the entire memorized payee list), users could start typing the payee name and then use the down arrow to change which row Quicken was selecting/highlighting. This apparent software bug hinders users from discerning which of the multiple, memorized categories they are selecting for the current transaction. Without seeing in advance which memorized category they are selecting, users may have to reassign the correct category more frequently.
This bug (that highlights the entire memorized payee list) exists in other lists as well, including in the "Security Name" field when manually entering reinvested income in an investment account. Is anyone else experiencing the same? I'd like to add a screenshot here, but this interface doesn't seem to support it. Thank you.
