Still having issues with W-2 Employer name AT&T

I got an e-mail that the & (ampersand) issue was fixed and downloaded update. 

Now I'm getting this error: Employer name is marked as estimated . Enter correct number, then select "Unmarked estimated" from the edit menu. 

My W-2 shows employer as AT&T Services, Inc.

And before anyone starts telling me I can format employer name another way, this is what the Turbo Tax help ? button says: 

How should I enter my employer's name?
Enter your employer's name and info exactly as it appears on your W-2.

The IRS will compare your employer's name with what's in their database and can reject your return if it doesn't match.

So...did you unmark it as estimated?   or haven't you figured out how to do so?

 

They may have made the field "Marked as estimated" in that field as part of their correction procedure, to make sure you now have it entered properly.

 

...because people may have done all sorts of workarounds before the fix was in place....and they do need to force folks to look at it  to make sure the proper  "&" value is now where needed.  (I know had two or more && in one of my test files, but I haven't figured out which yet).
