Derek,

Now that you explained (possibly for the x-th time), I have upgraded to 1.8.9 
and changed the locale to US - voila it works. This took care of 
wrong/screwed-up currency symbols as well. Amazing what the locale is able to 
affect.

The menu without text actually is "Account Summary". This was taken care of by 
the locale too.

Thanks for your support.

Cheers
Stephan
