problem with a repeating payment

This with Q R50.16 on Win10/pro

I'm completely confused.   I have a repeating payment that has been in
place for years.  I went to  "Repeating Online" in Bills&Income Reminders
to find it there since I want to set up another just like it [just a
different payee] .   So I clicked on "edit"  look at its settings and it
says "frequency twice a month" but it only pays once a month on the first.

two odd things:
 1) it isn't *happening* twice a month [I checked my register] 
 2) there was  no way to "edit" anything except the category.
	Is the only "edit' you can [e.g., to change the amount] do is delete it
       and re-add it?

And I'm having a hard time adding that new one.  I tried to do add>online
and in the popup I did a search for the payee.. not there.  So my only
option was to go to "Add manual bill"  and I've added it and I go look at
my all bills and deposits screen and my previous repeating bill is listed
as "repeating" [and still twice a month.. I'll see if that's actually what
happens] but my new one is just set for "upcoming"  -- but it does say
monthly.   So after it "pays the bill" will it change to "repeating"?  I
guess I'll find out on August first....
