Day Gain/Loss in Portfolio View is incorrect by a very large amount.

Today, two of my ETF's (SCHB and SCHD) had a 3 for 1 stock split. I was prompted to accept the split after an update which I did accept. The Portfolio View under the Investing Tab shows the new correct number of shares after the split, the new correct average cost per share, the correct Cost Basis and the correct Market Value, but totally blows the Day Gain/Loss and % Day Gain/Loss, by a huge amount. Initially I was excited about having a great day until I visited the details. Whatever method Quicken is using to calculate the Day Gain/Loss is wrong. I can live with this but is it misleading.

If you buy a security that is down and it closes at your cost, Quicken will still tell you you lost money on the day.

You have to live with this also.
