Split is Retrieved as a purchase

(thanks for your patience, I'm getting there)

I'm trying FM(PV), splits are retrieved as a purchase (as
shown by All Data), so the Cap Gain Report can then be incorrect. If a sale is a long gain, and the split occured
less than 1 year before the sale then that part of the sale
is incorrectly reported as a short gain with zero cost (so
a big gain).

I'm at a loss to understand how the program expects me
to deal with splits. Should I manually delete the incorrectly
labeled split, and hand edit the original transaction? How
would I know to perform this action? (It seems to me that the
program quietly added corrupted data.) Perhaps there is a better
way, is it documented any place?

I infer from a comment in the documentation under 'Yahoo(Historical)' that FM(Pro) does not relabel a split as
a purchase. Is this correct? Will the Cap Gains Report from
FM(Pro) be long only gain in the case above?
