 PF> Odd.

 PF> I tried adding them manually, the same thing happened.

 PF> I noticed that the .NA file description was

That doesn't sound like a bug, that sounds like sub-board collapsing.  Do you
have that enabled?  Normally that's disabled by default..  In your
DDMsgAreaChooser.cfg (or .example.cfg), check whether the useSubCollapsing is
true or false.
