Comments and Alert Information repeats on nuvi 200

I just noticed that many POIs in several of my POI files display duplicate comments. The comment displays after the location name (in the larger font) and then again in the comment area. Does anyone know what is causing this?
Another odd this is that for some of my POIs in my Speed file show the header Alert Information: twice. I don's see any pattern to this and it happens with POIs I have created and downloaded.
I have verified that there aren't any formatting errors in the data file. If you download my Catholic Churches POI, you can test this on your unit. Saint Anthony Mission, Saint Elizabeth, and Saint Timothy display this odd behavior.

This happened to me too awhile back and I can't remember for sure what it was. I believe it was a character such as a - or & or some other character that was causing that. I removed them and it was fine.

size matters ;-)

On the C5xx, it's related to the length of the name. So removing a character, as you did - (or adding something, like GeePeeEx does) works-around the problem.
On the Nüvi 200, can you spot any pattern like that?
Do you have a screenshot of one or two?

No Pattern
For one point I deleted a ' and that fixed the problem, but none of the other points have any special characters.
