Category not showing up

Question

I have a long-existing category that no longer shows up in the list of categories to assign a transaction to.  If I look in the transaction list, it is there.  However, it isn't in the drop down as I enter a transaction.  
 Any suggestion?

There are no hidden categories in Quicken Mac. (It's an often-requested feature, but one which has not yet been implemented.)

Go to Preferences > Register, and see if it is set for Display Short Names. If so, switch it to Display Long Names. I suspect that the category you are seeing in the old transaction is actually a sub-category. Once you turn on Long Names, you'll see the category it is under — and should then be able to enter that category and subcategory for a new transaction as well.

Oops.  I missed that you are using Q Mac.  Maybe @jacobs or another Mac user would be able to provide some insight.  Sorry for my goof.

I'm looking at the full window of categories and don't see a column or category for for "hidden."  By the way I'm using Quicken for Mac, not Windows.
