Hi paul72, thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts on this with us. We understand the delay in data entry that changes such as this can cause and it's our aim to make the process overall easier for you. So that we can ensure your request to populate the cursor in payee field automatically is reported to the relevant team, please begin a direct chat. Our agents will then be able to escalate your case and keep you updated along the way. 

Thank you for your suggestion @GeorgiaC 

Unfortunately, the Live Chat agents are limited in what they can do.

"Best I can do is link the case to feedback and with the feedback you have raised will be used as
evidence to escalate a higher priority in the matter"

For others reading this however, I was told that Cogwheel>Feedback is really the only way to a dev's heart.

The more feedback the better.  Every time you log on if possible.  If you have multiple companies, feedback on all of them.  Use similar language/keywords : bug, slow, poor experience.

With a bit of luck it'll get fixed (although I have a sneaking suspicion that it's a side-effect
of some new feature & is actually deliberate).

For my part, I'm going to keep posting similar threads on here.  Every few days if I have to.  Maybe I'm fooling myself but, at some point, a constant flow of posts about Bugs & Bad Coding has got to embarrass Intuit/Quickbooks into taking quality control seriously.
