I think that I have found a bug.  Either that or my interpretation of the 
effect is incorrect.

Has anyone else set the option for "Short Location Names on Screens" on the 
Customize View tab?  It isn't working the way that I thought it would.

As others do, I do not use the "4 field" format for locations.  My locations 
contain the full address including names of churches, cemeteries, etc.  Some 
users have suggested separating the number portion of a street address from the 
street name itself in order to improve sorting by keeping streets together.  I 
sort my location list right to left.

For example, I have the following set for 123 Main Street, City, County, State, 
Country:

Long name = 123, Main Street, City, County, State, Country
Short name = 123 Main Street, City, County, State, Country

I have done that but I don't like the way that it looks on the Legacy screens.

Family and Chronology views are good.  The short location name is displayed.

Individual's Information and Marriage Information screens show the long name in 
the vital info and events/facts sections.

I suspect that I still see the location long names because those screens allow 
for the selection of the location so it displays the long names, whereas the 
other screens are display only.
