Quicken duplicating existing securities

fp

Just in the last week or so every downloaded purchase of an existing position prompts a popup asking me to identify the symbol or add it to Quicken. Although it is already in Quicken, the list presented does not show it. Half the time if I "Add" it, there are then duplicate positions, which in one case could not be deleted. The other half of the time I get another dialog box with options to "ignore" rename or never mind I will fix it myself.

Anybody else started seeing this? Usually I can jury rig a fix but now I am left with two duplicate positions of $13,000 each, similar transactions going back years but one with a return of 8000% because of a cost basis of 0.038

This has long been a problem that takes too much time to manually fix every transaction. Every time a financial institution or brokerage changes their reports, the security names end up written differently and Quicken doesn't handle that at all well. There needs to be a better way to match by symbol and to merge duplicates when they get created.
