Qkn Dlx suddenly stopped displaying scheduled transactions in one account's register

Mike Wirth

QD Version 8.2.1 (Build 802.57282.100)

macOS 15.5 (24F74)

Only one account (my largest?) with 3440 tranactions

Changing "Show reminders for… 60 days" causes register display to refresh, but doesn't fix problem.

Closing and restarting app doesn't fix problem

Yes, accounting file is on local (SSD) storage, but backup files are on iCloud partition, (Why do I still get file read errors occasionally on start-up accompanied by with mangled old transactions and lose account reconciliation for old months? HW?/SSD? error?

Lose of visibility of scheduled transactions in the register is a REAL PITA.

Any suggested fixes? (I'll try reboot and fresh D/L of the app.)

OK, PROBLEM SOLVED!

I'll let you decide if this was "pilot error", or a Quicken UI design error.

By opening a calendar display in the app and clicking on a transaction entry for a future date, I got a register display for the account with the block of scheduled transactions at the top of the display, ahead of the oldest cleared transactions, many(!) pages away from my recent transactions (where my screen was currently positioned)

ISSUE: Sometime recently I (unnoticed) clicked on the register control bar in the "•" control ("Status of Downloaded or Scheduled Transaction"), just left of the "^" ("Sort by date") control. The visual difference (coloring the selected column control blue) was easily missed.

I would suggest, as a minimum, some improvement to the UI (e.g., adding a caution notice to the control for how many scheduled transactions are displayed, or coloring the entire column (vs just the heading) blue for the column selected for sorting, or probably best, when the user changes the number of days of scheduled transactions to be displayed AUTOMATICALLY REPOSITIONING THE WINDOW TO THE BLOCK OF SCHEDULED TRANSACTIONS so the user has immediate visual feed back to wherever in the window they are being displayed.)

KEEP THE USER INFORMED!
