Quickbooks for Mac Payee autofilling incorrectly

After downloading transactions from my bank and manually entering the Payee, quickbooks automatically fills in the payee with whatever the first letter is entered.  I can only change it by deleting ever character up to that first letter and then typing the rest of the name.  For example, when trying to enter an employee's name, Allison as soon as I type A it autofills with accounts receivable .  I have turned off quick fill under the Data Entry in Preferences.  SomethingIt makes the entire process excruciating.
