Failure to deselect the previous box when adding Tags to transactions (edited)

Philk

The following video best demonstrates the problem I am experiencing. I was inspired by @Brian F with a similar issue of lag, and or quirks from his post. Check it out below.

Maybe this has already been discussed, I sure hope not…as it appears this newbie is just rehashing old issues that I should have been resolved by now.

Hello @Philk,

To assist with this issue, could you please provide a bit more information? Was there anything that seemed to trigger this performance issue? For instance, if it started after you imported years worth of transactions, you may be affected by this known issue:

If you're not affected by the known issue above, then I would recommend you start troubleshooting this issue by clearing the cache and cookies in your browser.

I hope this helps!

@Philk @Coach Kristina I've been having the same issue for at least a couple of weeks now. Thanks for raising this issue! I personally have imported only 6 months of data, and that was over a year and a half ago.

I cleared my cache and cookies and the problem remains.

I'm using the web app on Chrome, Android 13.

@ajbopp, I'd suggest following along with the above-referenced post that @Coach Kristina shared. Although the latency issues are more geared toward users who have imported years' worth of data, our product team is hard at work on improving performance overall. If you're still experiencing trouble after we go back and update the other post stating that the issue is resolved, please do let us know. It may be that your issue is due to primarily using a tablet for Quicken Simplifi, so we'd definitely want to take a look at that for you.

Fingers crossed for a speedy fix!

Thanks for your input, good to hear I am not alone, and that you are aware of the problem.

My computer is a powerful gaming laptop that I just bought earlier this month; it has the fastest Intel i9 Processor with 32GB Ram running Windows 11 …any lag is not the computers' fault. I did not import any data from anywhere, I started fresh by adding my accounts and downloading all data available for each account. The oldest transaction I got, is June 26, 2022, with a total of 452 Transactions from 24 accounts.

I cleared all cache from my default Edge Browser, and restored settings to defaults, updated my Discrete graphics driver, and windows with the latest updates and drivers. Rebooted, and then tested to see if the issue was gone…It was not. Made no difference.

I also cleared the cache and tried Google Chrome Browser, with the exact same results as MS Edge.

In my opinion, the problem is not lag…but rather a problem in programming. After moving from one box to the next, you can wait as long as you want…the target will not change…you must select the next box a second time in order to edit that box. AND: this only appear to affect the Tags.

Coach Natalie

@Philk, please provide the steps to reproduce the behavior you're experiencing in a numbered format so we can take a closer look.

Thanks!

@Coach Natalie Here you go…

Coach Natalie

@Philk, thank you for the additional details!

I am able to reproduce this, and it appears that the cause is that a double-click is required to deselect the previous transaction's Tags field. The behavior does appear to be unique to the Tags field, as I was able to easily move between the Category and Notes fields with no issues, so I did get this reported. I'll let you know when we hear back.

I hope this helps!
