Yes, I also see that same issue.

Moreover, the only reference I see in the handbook for "Show equity 
accounts" just tells me: "Equity accounts are normally hidden. Select 
this option to show them." There's no explanation of what they are, 
where they might show up, or why one might want to select this option. I 
would never have guessed that check box would have this effect.

And, even with that option checked, the "Total Value" field of the 
containing Investment account is still $0.00 even though it in fact 
contains several thousand dollars worth of securities.

And further... I now see at the bottom of the "Accounts" page a new 
mysterious account named "Equity" with a large negative Total Value. 
There is no corresponding ledger so I have no clue where that number 
comes from.
