Judy, I don't often edit a person's information from the name list (View, Name List), but thought I would try it to see what results I got.
I entered AKAs for three people and added a surname to someone whose surname was blank. Then I went back to the family view, checked out the four people I had changed information for, and all is well -- no quirky stuff. Have you tried file maintenance, closing Legacy, re-booting your computer? That sometimes helps clear up odd behavior.
