How do I fix the following:

Question

Each month I use Edit/Find/Replace to list each category of my spends for the last month.  I normally see a fixed list of items, starting with the latest, on which I can see the items for that period.  In the last few days, something has changed (although Tech Support deny it) in that when I now try to list the items, I get a continually scrolling list which, for several minutes, lists the thousands of items in that category going back to 2009 when I started using Quicken.

How do I get it to revert to giving me a stationary list of items, starting with the latest?

Why would you be using Edit/Find/Replace for this purpose instead of a report like:

Reports → Spending → Spending by Category?

I agree that Find/replace is not the best way to get a list of recent spending for a Category. But If you really want to use that:

For me, the Find/Replace annoyingly defaults to Earliest to date, which as you are seeing will often list way more items than you want. I don't know why it was defaulting to Last month for you earlier, unless you had set a date filter like this
