Sorry, forgot that detail.

I’m not editing in the AR register. (generally, you should not do so)
Makes sense... this is the reason the entries were not being consistent.  I was concern about a corruption in the data, so test test until I get it right are being done with a backup of the company, not the actual company's production data.

This precaution is what I hope others are doing until the get the glitches out of problems experienced.
I clicked the ‘payment’ link in the Customer Report. This opened my asset 
register that was used as the transfer account when I processed the payment. In 
this case, it was an Undeposited Funds account because they paid with a check. 
I edited the memo there.

Note, you *can* edit in the AR register, though it is not advised. If you 
really want to do the edit there, be sure to put the ‘description’ you want in 
the `memo` field of the non-AR split. (the transfer account you received the 
payment to) It will still show on the Customer Report.

If I’m not mistaken, I think the bug report I mentioned covers this issue with 
the AR edit not showing up on the Customer Report. (it also duplicates the same 
info in the Notes field - overwriting what was there, and vice versa)

Thanks!  After carefully following your steps, I finally figured out where I was going wrong.  I couldn't find the field to edit.  So I right clicked on the entry and it brought back the original "Process Payment" form.

I understand it now and it works great!

Thanks for the patience in helping me to get over this gap in understanding.

Have a nice day!
