Bug when entering real estate commission expense

I am using the online turbotax premium. For my rental property (Schedule E), when I add the line item and enter the expense amount for real-estate commission, the system then zero's out most other expense line items that I entered (e.g. interest). If I go back and delete the real-estate commission expense line, then the other lines re-appear.

I have done this a number of times, cleared my cache and browser history, and logged out and logged back in. The issue continues to occur. Is this just a user interface defect, meaning all of the expenses would still appropriately calculate and appear on the schedule E? Or is this a true bug?

If you know what your reportable rental income should be (net of expenses), you can check this by previewing your federal 1040. Schedule 1 Line 5 shows the total net rental income. See How do I preview my 1040?. Page down to see Schedule 1.

But if you need to see Schedule E for this property to confirm the actual expense entries, you'll need to preview your entire return. Follow these instructions: How do I preview my TurboTax Online return before filing?
