I haven't weighed in on this before, but I have a similar situation from
2006 when I created an account for some stock options, then listed a buy
and sell for the same day.  (I assume I entered the buy first).  Both
were for 1,897 shares and things looked like they should balance but the
software was never happy about it.

I'm still using Moneydance 2008r4 - which I likely wasn't using in 2006.  :-)
