Newly downloaded transactions "overwriting" older transactions

I recently updated from Q2017 to the subscription version R25.21, and immediately started repeatedly having this issue with my checking account. For example, today when I updated, there was a newly cleared check number 3120 for $200. When I clicked the "accept all" button, the new transaction did not appear in the register, and there was no error message. I noticed that my online balance and ending balance were suddenly off by $200. Closer inspection showed that Quicken had assigned check number 3120 to a recent (10 days ago) $200 electronic credit card payment from my checking account, instead of creating the proper new transaction. Any idea what might be causing this?

    Tom, my answers to your questions in your first paragraph are all "yes". Since I don't manually enter transactions, I don't pay much attention to the status in the downloaded transactions area, so I don't know the status of the problematic transactions. I will keep an eye out for that in the future, and also look into tweaking any user-configurable settings for the matching algorithm. I think you hit the nail on the head with your diagnosis! Thanks a bunch :)

    Thanks UKR! I will be keeping a closer eye on the downloaded transactions before accepting them. Too bad there is not a way for users to specify detailed matching criteria, such as date range. Hopefully, Quicken will "learn" over time, and matching will improve.
