Investing Tab Portfolio showing "Bonds Bought" as Daily Gain

If I buy a Treasury Note, the day I purchased it shows the full value of the note bought as part of the daily gain. My cash is reduced by the note purchased so everything else is correct. This appears to only happen with Treasuries.

Anyone else seeing this?

    This will happen for newly purchased securities if Quicken does not have a price for the security for the day before the purchase date.

    If you edit the price history for the bond and add an appropriate price for the day before you purchased it, this problem should go away.
