Yes, sorry, I see what you mean now. I never look at the securities tab (I 
don't find it useful for anything) but you are correct. I would have expected 
entries to be hidden in there just like the equities tab and all the other 
screens. Maybe raise a wishlist item or bug report. I'm not sure if there is a 
reason for it to show all the old securities but I can't think of a good 
reason.
