Suggestions while editing Payee, Account, and Class fields in downloaded transactions in QuickBooks for Mac 2023 behaves in 2 different ways

Hi!  I just upgraded from QB for Mac 2019 to 2023 and find that the suggestions when editing the Payee, Account, and Class fields in downloaded transactions have 2 different behaviors that seem to switch randomly.

 

1. The original way was "type ahead" where the suggestion was based on the letters being typed out and the suggested value was highlighted in blue.  This was simple and useful.

2. The new way is to fill the entire field with the suggestion, requiring me to backspace to the letter I want and add one more letter, then backspace, and type one more letter, and again and again until there are no suggestions (which may be after a few characters, or many characters.  This is exceeding time-consuming and annoying.

 

Any way I can turn off #2 and just stick with #1?

 

Apologies if the has already been posted.  I did not see it.    If you can point me to the solution, I'll be on my way.

Thanks in advance for any assistance.
