Split transactions are not split in budget?

scurryman

I am using QUicken Classic on Windows. I am new to Quicken this year but have been using Mint for many years. I noticed today that when I split a transaction the split is not reflected in my budget. For example, I have a $100 transaction in my checking account which is automatically categorized as entertainment. I split the transaction manually to categorize $40 as Travel and $60 as Entertainment. After doing the split my budget spending still shows a $100 transaction for Entertainment and nothing for Travel!

Is this a bug or is there a setting a I can adjust to fix this?
