- Well, if you turn Reduce Transparency off (uncheck it) then there will be a performance hit for everything else your mac does. This is not really acceptable especially for those with older Macs. It seems this selection is checked by default in the OS. No one (other than those in this thread) will know about this 'fix' but this 'fix' should not be necessary. Hopefully Quicken can be fixed. I have not seen this behavior in any other lists.
I do not get the overwrite issue on the Home tab as reported by s2kdriver so that may indeed be related to multiple currency choices. - I am still running v5.16.1. When I log into Quicken, I am not prompted to upgrade to v5.17. Can I assume that they have stopped the release given the issues people have found?
- @John_M Sometimes it means they have paused the release, but not always. Try pulling the Quicken menu Check for Updates and see if it offers you the 5.17.1 update. If it tells you you are using the latest version, then you know they have paused downloads to fix something.QMac 2007 & QMac Subscription • Quicken user since 1993
- I'm on 5.17.0 and tried Check for Updates. Nothing available so I assume it's paused.
- Hmm, I just checked for an update (from 15.16.1) and was able to download/install 5.17.1. So far so good ...

UPDATE: I manually checked again today and this time I was given the opportunity to update to 5.17.1.
NEW Added the ability to close an account from the Hide and Show Accounts window and from the shortcut menu that appears when Control-clicking an account on the account sidebar.
FIXED Fixed a crashing issue that affected a few customers. - Unless I missed it, no one has commented from Quicken since the release. Hmmm. Is Marcus still on vacation?
I'm a bit leery about updating given some of the reported bugs. Is 5.17.2 imminent?
Thanks RickO. The use case makes sense to me. I'll create a ticket for us to lower the restrictions on the amount in a scheduled transaction. I think as long as it is set to 'I'll do it myself' it should be OK. I think that restriction was originally put in place for the Automatic Mark As Paid setting.Scheduled 'send' transactions should allow zero amount. I have several scheduled transactions that are sent each month using Bank Bill Pay. I have them set to 'I'll do it myself' for Mark as Paid. When I try to set them as 'Bank Bill Pay', it is not allowed because they have an amount of $0.00. I have them set this way because the amount varies and I don't know the actual amount until the bill comes. Quicken should allow these scheduled transactions in the register with amount $0.00 and 'send' in the Check# field. Only prevent the $0.00 amount if the transaction is marked as paid and the amount not changed.
There must be some odd data that we don't expect in your 2007 accounts that is causing Quicken to duplicate these accounts. I'll reach out to you directly.One odd issue I noted: When upgrading to 5.17.1 from 5.16.1, Quicken generated a partial duplicate of every account, active or hidden, that had originally been created in Quicken 2007, and it placed these partial duplicates in the new Hidden Accounts sidebar. Each partial duplicate had the same name as the actual account but with a '2' appended and containing no transactions.
I'm not able to reproduce the issue. Does it still fail when you try to send it? It's possible the service we run to collect this information was down when you tried it?I'm having a issue with the 'Report A Problem' feature in Quicken Mac 5.17.1 on macOS 10.15.5.
I'm able to reproduce this issue. It looks like a multi-currency problem. Thanks for reporting this. I have also confirmed that this is a new issue in 5.17.Great new release. I really like the new Close Account and Separate Account features, as well as the revamped Reports list. However, I would like to report a small GUI bug. Under the Home tab, I am seeing a graphics overwrite for the Spending Over Time and Net Income views. Spending by Category is fine. See the attached screen shots. This may be due to the fact that I have multiple currencies active and the currency selection drop down overwrites the date selection drop-down in two of the three views. (FYI - I am running QM 5.17.1 on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 latest build)
Thanks for reporting this issue. I've filed a ticket and we'll investigate what we can do here.@Quicken Marcus There is what I believe to be a bug in the 5.17 release: reports now will not save the state of collapsed categories/subcategories. That is, if you carefully customize a report with some categories collapsed and some expanded, and save the report, upon re-opening, all categories are re-set to being fully expanded. (I haven't tried them all, but this is true with New Transaction, Net Summary, New Comparison, and Net Worth reports that I tested.)
In fact, Quicken doesn't even see changing collapsed categories as a change to the report. That is, if you create a report and save it, and then collapse several categories, the Save button remains grayed out, because Quicken thinks there is nothing changed to save.
This is a really annoying and painful problem because you can spend a liot of time tediously setting those triangles to a report you want, only to re-open the report and find your work was lost.
(Side note: adding and Expand All/Collapse All control to the reports interface would be a huge time saver for configuring reports.)- edited July 15'Account Selection in Budgets'
*still doesn't work for transfers*
eta: nice additions nonetheless. keep up the good work
Yup, I see the issue. Quite honestly, I think this would take us quite a bit of extra work to fix since the scrollbar is controlled by macOS. Most people who keep Apple's default setting which is 'Show scroll bars: Automatically based on mouse or trackpad' won't run into this issue. I'll chat with my dev team about how easy or hard it would be to do.@Quicken Marcus One small aesthetic quibble which is bugging me in the 5.17 release. In the sidebar, if the list of accounts is longer than the height of the Quicken window, the sidebar acquires a scroll bar on the right side to allow navigation up and down the account list. But when the scroll bar is present, the number values are moved about 14 pixels to the left -- but the Net Worth and Separate Accounts lines are below the scrolling account list, and the placement of those numbers isn't moved when all the other numbers are shifted to the left. As a result, the column of numbers doesn't line up.
As I said, it's a minor aesthetic thing, but having a total which isn't aligned with the numbers above catches my eye repeatedly as something which appears to be out of place.
@Quicken Marcus I get it. I didn't remember that the persistent scrollbars for some reason (in Apple's infinite wisdom) take up more space than the pop-up automatic scrollbars. I tried the automatic scrollbars for awhile after Apple added them years ago, and found I hated having to 'coax' them to show at times, or having to scroll just to be able to grab the scroller/thumb to mover around quickly, so I just turned them back on.

With the new release 5.17.1 I was glad to see the ability to schedule payments to be make on a specific future date. I have been able to schedule some Quick Pay billers for future dated payments but have run into a wall trying to set-up American Express for a future payment. Every time I try, Quick Pay requires a payment date of today. It won't accept a future date. Big red box around the date saying the date must be today. Quicken Support was not able to help - the only answer he could suggest was that different billers had different requirements as to date which seems strange to me when all I am trying to do is tell the software when to pay the bill.
Has anyone experienced this problem? All suggestions or advice greatly appreciated. Thanks. - I'm having an issue when customizing the Accounts Summary after the latest update. Every time I try and unselect accounts it acts like it's saving it, but continues to show the info for all accounts.
