Estimates emailed from QBO comes out with a "View Invoice" Link

After the update. Now when I send an Estimate, the email received by my customer comes with "Invoice Number" which is the Estimate number instead. "View Invoice" link which when clicked open the Estimate approval page. "Balance Due" with nothing in it. The email body makes reference to the Estimate. 
This is getting my customers confused as ther link pops up to the eye and they reaching questioning why they're getting an invoice instead of an Estimate.
4 hours on the phone with three different support levels ending up in a "we'll reach out with a solution..." a week ago and silently the service request was closed, no a word from QB and issue persist. I feel I'm alone on this one and QB doesn't really give a dime about their curtomes and many out there share my sentiment.

I was told that I was added to the list of affected customers. Though I don't believe that means anything. Service Request has been closed already and everytime (this is not the first issue I've experienced) is the same. Nobody reaches, Service Request is closed, all of the sudden things work.
I really lost hope on QB support,  they're good when it comes to teaching, not fixing.

It's been 6 weeks and this is still an issue.  How is this 'all hands on deck'?

Good try with your 'All is well' script, but I did contact support, and they told me that they would look into it.
