Why does Quicken show a mismatch of -.001 for bonds downloaded from Vanguard?

Question

This has been happening for well over a year, maybe longer.  Quicken shows a Securities Comparison Mismatch.  I've been ignoring/accepting it until this moment.

For instance, Shares Reported: 189.999, Shares in Quicken: 190, Difference: -0.001.

My accounts are with Vanguard.  Quicken version is 27.1.58.9, but this has been happening for many versions.  It's not happening with stock, mutual fund or ETF holdings.

There are lots of Vanguard users on this board, but I haven't been able to find anyone experiencing the same problem.

Appreciate any thoughts or suggestions about this.

Thanks for this info.  I'll contact Vanguard and see if they're aware of it also.  It's not a huge problem by any means - minor annoyance.  Just wondering if anyone has seen it and might have a solution.

NotACPA:  T-bills and agency bonds, with transactions and securities downloaded from Vanguard the next day.  Actually, I believe the security gets downloaded the day after purchase, but the transaction isn't reported until settlement date.  (Hope that makes sense.). That's about as much as I can tell you cuz there's not much to it.

It's an ugly log file to wade thru.

There's an OFX formatter (written long ago at Intuit) which makes it a little less ugly. You drag'n'drop the OFXLOG.txt file's icon onto the formatter's icon and out pops an OFXLOG.tab file with proper indentation. I keep it on my Dropbox.
