Estimated taxes other income

This is a gripe about the way TT worded the 2 screens for estimated taxes calculation:

- [Enter investment gains and losses] This screen asks for qualified dividends, LTCG, etc

- [Enter 2024 other income] This screen asks for "net of all other income and losses you expect in 2024." The 2023 "other income and losses" number is actually AGI - LCTG which confused the heck out of me because I couldn't figure out how TT calculated that number because of the wording "net of all other income and losses you expect in 2024." which should mean it excludes everything entered on [Enter investment gains and losses] screen but noooooo, it included everything except for LCTG. At the very least, add a note to explain how the number is calculated.
