Q2014 possible file corruption

I have been using Quicken forever and I now have Quicken 2014 Premier.

I did a register search for category "Mort Int" with the intent to change the category on all transactions to something else. Quicken "find all" returned one match. When I clicked on the matching transaction, Quicken crashed.

Like an idiot, I repeated this exercise three times.

Next, I launched Quicken and did a file verify/repair. Apart from a few suspicious stock splits, Quicken found no errors. The "bad" Mort Int transaction is not in a brokerage account, anyway.

Oddly enough, I was able to scroll to the "bad" transaction with my mouse. I changed the transaction category as I wished, no problem.

Finally, I am concerned that my precious, 74 MByte Quicken file is corrupted. Since file verify/repair did not find any issues, I would like to try something else. Suggestions?

Note the contents of that transaction and delete it (don't use "Cut": use "Delete"). Then try the same Find All again. If no problem, manually re-enter the deleted transaction and try the Find All again. If no problem, it's likely you found your corruption.
