Hi,
Are you looking at the register in Basic Ledger mode?  Try turning on Double 
Line and Auto Split from the View Menu.

ISTR that a transaction can have a "notes/memo" entry, but each split can also 
have a "note/memo" for just that split.  It sounds like you are picking up 
that split-level text.  Sorry, don't know how to get the transaction-level 
text.  From some casual experiments, it seems that if the split to 
the "reported" account has memo text, then the transaction report shows that 
text, but if it isn't there then the transaction text is shown.

HTH,
Maf.
