Sell Bond Transaction Varies with Transaction Date Used
I'm on an iMac running Mac OS 13.7.1
My Quicken version is 7.10.1
On 10/31/2024 I sold 12 PIMCO bonds at Schwab. Schwab generated two transactions. The first generated a "Sell Bonds" Quicken transaction and second was for the accumulated interest, which generated an "Interest Income" transaction. The Sell Bonds transaction didn't reduce the shares, but did increase the cash (as it should have), but it essentially created double accounting.
To trouble shoot, I manually entered another Sell Bonds transaction and this transaction reduced the number of shares and generated cash as the transaction should have. I then deleted the "automated" transaction and everything seemed fine. However, the transaction date was now wrong because I'd used the current date, 11/6/2024, for the manual transaction. I wanted the date of the transaction to be correctly reflected so I edited the date to 10/31/2024. Something happened and the shares reappeared in the portfolio. The manual transaction now behaved like the automated transaction.
More trouble shooting — I changed the manual transaction date back to 11/6/24 and the number of shares decreased as they should have. I then took one of the automated transactions and changed its 10/31/2024 date to 11/6/2024 and the number of shares decreased as they should have in the first place. I tried different dates, and the transaction doesn't appear to work on any date earlier than 11/3/2024.
This seems like a strange bug. I can easily change the dates of the bond transactions to so they work, but the dates will be wrong.
Is there anything I can do to allow the transaction to work correctly and also have the date be correct?

Update on 11/8/2024: It's two days later and the Sell Bonds transaction is now no longer works properly. Changing the date of the transaction no longer has any affect and the transaction does not decrease the number of shares, but adds to the cash, so it's back to double accounting. Ah, what to do?
