Reverse calculation in investment account

This error just started today and I think Quicken just updated. Quicken for Windows

Very strange! When I enter interest income in an investment account, Quicken is subtracting it from my cash balance! When I enter Return of Capital, it is adding it to the cash balance.

Any ideas?

That indicates you have negative cash balance to begin with. Like if you bought securities or funds but didn't have enough cash balance to buy it so it went negative. You didn't add any cash to make the buys. So if the cash balance was a -100 and you entered 5 interest the new balance would be $95. It would look like less, but it's really less negative. Hope that make sense.

Maybe you are missing some Sell transactions that would generate the cash.
