[GNC] Trouble entering Fund sale transaction

I have an account that is set up as a Mutual Fund, using Commodity Value.
I transferred some $ into the account when the price was $10.00, and converted it to the proper number of shares.
I then tried to sell some shares. I entered -1943.2136 shares at a price of $10.02, with a transaction amount of $19,471.00. I hit enter and it says "The values entered for this transaction are inconsistent. Which value would you like to have recalculated? Shares, Price, or Value." The $ amount is accurate as is the # of shares. I don't care if the price is off by a few decimals, so I opt for Price.
It then changes the price to 1.000000, and the number of shares to -19,471! This is 1/10 the Price and 10x the number of shares!
I looked up the price in the database and it shows a price of $10.02 on the date of the transaction.
Why can't I represent the transaction correctly?
Thanks for any help you can give,
Steve Kelem
