Capital Gains Estimator behaves strangely if CG Tax Rates are changed (edit)

The Capital Gains Estimator recommends short/long term rates of 22%/20% which is incorrect. It should be 22%/15% based on my data. When I override the estimator and select 22%/15% tax rate, the estimator no longer includes the existing capital gains/losses in its calculations, which throws off tax due calculations in the estimator.

Is there a way to select 22%/15% and have the estimator import the correct existing capital gains that are shown in the Tax Planner and the Capital Gains YTD report?

Is the estimator recommending 20% for worst case long term tax rate rather than analyzing the actual capital gains data?

    When you're in the Tax Planner, go to the upper right Tax Tools button and the Estimator is there.

    It can also be accessed from the Tools button under the Investing tab.

    The Tax Rates are listed under the Rates item in the top bar of the Tax Planner. I can't see a way to set my own rates. (probably a good thing)
