Do you have release 2.4.13 installed?  When I follow your procedure on
my Windows 7 machine (Actually I use Tools:General Ledger then run the
Account report)  I get the account names.  I know there is a problem
with seeing split details in other reports which I started to
investigate on June 14 but apparently I abandoned that investigation,
because I cannot find the bug report that I intended to make then.
