    I don't see any way to prevent it.  You suggest you report it as a bug:

    Done. The more I use the Budget feature, the more I realize how it's really poorly designed. I'm looking at my 2021 summary column for Auto, which rolls up 2 vehicles with 6 or so line items in each, and the "balance" on the right is totally incorrect. I'm not going to rely on a feature that requires me to have a glossary of terms open when I use it.

    It's rife with issues. I have a line for electric utilities. My December 2021 budget number says $129.79. I type in 130 and hit enter, and it changes back to $129.79. I have to go into the Yearly Budget and change December to get it to stick. But I can change other numbers just fine...

    I'd go further and say that many parts of Quicken do not have a good user interface, even if those parts have powerful features. But at some point, as i learned many years ago personally, if a feature is too hard to use, it may as well not exist. An upset customer told me that.
    Been using Quicken (and TurboTax) since DOS days in 1990s.
