Another 'Sorry,  I'm back', but this time with just a query.

My Accounts List includes the following entries : -
Fund A, Fund A (ISA07/08), Fund A (ISA08/09), and Fund A (ISA09/10).
The Investments view Equities tab shows those same accounts.  The
Securities tab shows just a single, common security.  All that is fine
and how I set it up.

Looking now at the Prices Editor, that security appears on one line, and
showing : -
Fund A, Fund A , Fund A (ISA08/09), and Fund A (ISA09/10).
So, Fund A (ISA07/08) seems to be missing the suffix part of its name,
or at least that is how it appears.

Another account shows another similar anomaly, whereas a third set up in
the same way, does not.

Why might that be (probably down to me!), but more importantly, how do I
sort it?
