QB Online - Parent and Child accounts both being displayed in bill entry and other reports

Bill Entry pages, journals, registers - just about everything I open in QB online shows the full parent and child account name displayed.  It gets so long, I have to constantly choose "edit" just to see the final child account name.  I know in desktop I can go to preferences and "turn this off", but I can't figure out how to do it for the online version.  Thanks.
