I had something like this happen with a previous version of 
Ubuntu/gnucash. When I looked more carefully, I saw that the Price 
Editor window was too narrow, and the "Security" column did not show. 
Expanding the size of the window solved my problem. And I had to click 
on the "+" box to the far left on the "FUND" row.
