Security entry blows up showing all previous as MiscExp

Entering a bond transaction with accrued interest results in two entries, one for the purchase or sale, and another with either MiscInc or MiscExp in the action field. But the entries aren't saves until the focus moves out of the last entry. When I use page down to get to the next entry space, it asks if I want to save the previous entry. When I click yes, it enters the transactions and then changes ALL previous entries with the same action tag as the last one. Moving to a different account and back to the first one doesn't clear the display. The only way I've been able to clear the erroneous display is to exit Quicken and restart it. The first time it happened I nearly had a heart attack, thinking I would need to re-enter all that data.

Has anyone else experienced this? And is it fixable? I'm using the latest version of Quicken Classic Deluxe (with current updates) in Windows 10 (yes, I know it's going to be phased out.)

Please see the attached screenshots for an example.

    Hello @Klhansen,

    To assist with this, please provide more information. When did you first notice this issue? Which version of Quicken were you using when this started? Are you inputting this information directly into the register, or are you using the Enter Transactions button at the upper left of the register, and filling out the information there? Is this happening in only one account, or are you seeing it in multiple accounts?

    I look forward to your response!

    Noticed this probably 6 months ago. Currently using Quicken Classic Deluxe Ver R59.18, Build 27.1.59.18.

    I'm inputting directly into the register. Have never used the Enter Transactions button, but occasionally get to that screen when editing. I can make this happen almost at will with the steps I outlined in any investment account.
