Incorrect Day Gain/Loss on Investing view

I purchased a stock yesterday at $22.39. It closed at $22.405. The Lot shows a $55 loss in the Day Gain/Loss column when viewing "As of: 2/11/2020". The Gain/Loss column correctly shows a $15 gain.

Yes, that is because Quicken uses the change from the prior day closing price to the purchase date closing price to compute that "Day Gain/Loss" amount (and %). It's, in my view, just a shortcut used to keep calculations on the simple side of things.
