Sorry, took me a few days to clear out and obfuscate most of the stuff in
the attached whilst retaining the very odd result value. With some energy
it could be de-obfuscated to some extent but it won't tell you much. The
very odd "Investment Value" is still there on the Leger for the "F"
investment account. I've tried changing most of the numbers and they make
no big difference.

I suspect the bug (if it is?) is something to do with how the money to
invest was passed into the brokerage account and was then invested. But it
is only this investment that results in a very unexpectedly large number
appearing bottom right.

I'd be grateful for guidance in avoiding it in future as well as seeing
what appears to be a bug but of course could be a data/user error fixed.

One other issue I have noticed is that on the Investments==>Securities tab
when deleting unused Security details the delete works as expected. But
afterwards, the next item in the list is highlighted but is not seemingly
internally selected until another security is selected by clicking on it,
the previously highlighted but not selected security is then selected and
the Edit/Delete buttons at the right light up from being shaded. This may
be a feature but I suspect it is an accidental difference between the
action at the end of a delete security process and selection of a security
using a mouse click. I've not tested this but I suspect that with just two
existing securities, it might be impossible to select with the mouse - get
Edit/Delete buttons at right highlighted and usable - the 1 remaining one
after deleting the last but one'th security. Not something most real users
will do after they have correctly set their investments up!

Thanks

Nick
