It does for me.

There are a couple of things you might try:
(1) Select File=>Maintenance=>Repair from the menu. Then see if that helped.
(2) Try adding a _new_ History tag with the data like you want it and the
Witness Sentence having just "[M]" in it. If this works, just delete the
original tag.

Hope this helps -
