Something does seem strange, although I can't fully replicate your report.
To create a security within an Investment Account (other than imlpicitly by
adding or buying shares) you need to do so on the equities tab of the
Investments View.  This creates the security (which can then be seen on the
Securities tab of the Investments View.  When you do this, it creates the
security, which contains all the information about the stock.  It also creates
the ACME sub account of the Investment account, which is what holds any
transactions regarding that stock in that investment account.  This can then be
seen as a sub account of the Investment account on the Accounts view (possibly
depending on configuration settings.)  What is odd (and debatably a bug( is
that it is NOT seen on the Equities tab of the investments view, probably
because it does not contain any shares.  If you delete the Acme subaccount of
the Investment account on the Accounts View, you will then be able to delete
the entry for it on the Securities tab.

Regarding seeing the wrong name when you try to buy shares after changing the
name by editing the stock on the Securities Page of the Investments View, I am
not able to replicate this.  However, it is likely that you changed the name of
the security (once per KMM fil) but not the name of the acme subaccount of the
investment account, which is what shows up in the security dropdown for
investment transactions.  I'm not sure if this issue of name consistency has
been addressed in master branch, but I know some work has been done in this
area to avoid inadvertently creating multiple securities when you more likely
want multiple equities (in different Investment accounts.)

Current workaround(s)
1) understand that the name in the security dropdown in an investment
transaction in an Investmente account is the name from the subaccount for that
stock.  While these names SHOULD always be the same, they are not always so.
2) if that stock does not show up on the Equities tab of the Investments View,
look for the subaccount of the Investment Account  on the Accounts View.

I see two areas for possible work:
1) show a stock on the Equities Tab even if it does not contain any shares
2) assure the name is the same for all Equities for a single Security.
