I'm not surprised because I assumed the problem occurred when the 
"Enter Transaction" button is clicked during the manual Enter process for 
all loan payment transactions. 

I never thought it had anything to do with 
the type of loan - and that's largely because, in Quicken, there's really only 
one loan type: a traditional mortgage loan. Every Quicken manual loan is 
constructed using the criteria for a traditional mortgage loan.

Based on comments in the Quicken Community, I believe Quicken is aware of the problem; 
and while I know better than to make predictions about such things, this seems like a problem 
Quicken can fix within the next one or two patches (depending on how far along they were with
the next patch before they became aware of the problem).
