V9.0.1 Investment calculation error?

Question

I updated to 9.0.1 yesterday and this morning I entered some new investment transactions.  There appears to be an error in the amounts recorded for transactions with commissions.  For example, I sold shares of a fund for a total amount of $1,934.40 with a commission of $0.04.  So, the amount added to my balance should be $1,934.36.  However, Quicken is recording the amount added to my balance as $1,934.40.  Any thoughts would be appreciated.

OK, I'm just misunderstanding the entry names. The "total sale" field apparently wants the net sale amount (total minus commission) to be entered, rather than the total.

@Kelly1957  Correct. And nothing has changed with this in 9.0 or 9.0.1; it has always worked this way.

The default entry method for investment transactions is to enter the total purchase or sale amount, the number of shares, and optionally any commission, and Quicken will show the calculated share price (which often can be fractionally different than what your brokerage may show due to rounding). But you have the alternative of clicking the little pencil icon next to the Price Per Share field, which will then allow you to enter number of shares, price per share, and optionally any commission, and Quicken will show the total price calculated from those entries.
