I entered the shares from my statement which is 1.083842 then enter the dividend amount which is $16.47 hit the enter key and boom it changes to 1.08384 and it drops the 2.  

What happens if you enter the buy from the cash account and use the transfer dialog to set the number of shares?

It smells like you’re tripping into a hard-coded rounding action and I’m trying to narrow down where it might be.
