Present/Future transaction dates are so, so wrong

[Dave H]

Looking back at your dates in your email, which I didn't pay a lot of
attention to initially, I don't think you have a problem - see below.  The
big blue line is just above a future dated transaction on 13th April 2016
according to your original example - which is exactly where I would expect
it to be....

4-9-2015
2-23-2016
BIG BLUE LINE
4-13-2016  ---------- Future dated txn !!!!


I'm a new user.  I just created an account that starts with a beginning
balance on 4-11-2014.  I have entered all the transactions from that date
up to the present.
The big blue line between present and future transactions is between
transactions on 4-9-2015 and 4-13-2015.
When I go to add a new transaction, I enter today's date, and when the
transaction is done, it moves up to right above the blue line.  So I have
transaction dates like this:
4-9-20152-23-2016BIG BLUE LINE4-13-2016
I have no idea what I did, and I haven't been able to find a way to undo it.
Help, please?

Cheers Dave H.
