Strange Transfer button activity

Those buttons are also in Q2005 (and I believe earlier versions too). They are there for every existing transaction regardless of what is in its category field. The transfer dialog is the same as you would get if you clicked "Transfer" in the register menu, just above. And the dialog that results from clicking "Transfer" is clearly not a dialog for modifying the transaction you clicked in.

I doubt it's a bug.

Then I don't understand the logic of it. Why would you want to create a new transaction from within an existing one? (I realize I asked this question the first time as well.) To me, it would be akin to having a button there allowing you to do a year-end review or to export info to a tax program. In other words, there's no logical relationship to the transaction you are currently working on.

BTW, after I posted, I used Q2006 on another computer and when I clicked that Transfer button in question, the amount I had already included in the transaction DID show up in the transfer dialogue a couple of times. Then when I tried it a third time, it exhibited the same behavior I described above, where it in fact created a separate transaction. So, if it was Intuit's intent to create a new transaction with that button, the behavior is not consistent.

(And by way of additional explanation. The version of Q2006 on both computers is IDENTICAL. That is, they were both loaded from the same CD. I'm in the process of transitioning my Quicken use from one computer to another, which is why I have it installed twice. I will eventually uninstall the other version.)
