Preventing renaming of downloaded transactions is impossible!

This functionality is completely broken now. I have all renaming options turned off and all renaming rules deleted and Quicken insists on renaming all transactions to the short name provided by the bank. Clearly, the developers don't use this software. It's obvious they could provide an option not to do this phantom renaming as they have the name to revert to, but they're just choosing not to take customer feedback. Please revert this horrible change immediately! At least provide us the option to always use the long names instead of the useless short names.

    Hello @BlindMelonhead,

    Thank you for sharing your experience. To clarify, you specifically mention renaming rules. Have you also made sure that "Automatically apply Quicken's suggested name to payee" is unchecked? You can check that by navigating to Edit>Preferences>Downloaded transactions.
