The Win version also does not differentiate these dividends. I get
around this by using my own custom dividend categories.

Am sure that immediately after Quicken does incorporate this feature,
our 'wise leaders' in DC will eliminate this from the tax codes. Note
that the income drop-down menu still includes a slot to enter long gone
mid-term cap gains distribution for example.

You have to remember, if they removed the mid-term capital gains, it
would be removing functionality (something that use to work) for those
that have history (or would want to recreate/record history). Dividend
categories seems a reasonable solution.
