Book title displays differently in Kindle after metadata change

I subscribe to a series of books that are titled as follows:

Grantville Gazette, Volume XX

The problem with this title format is that my Kindle doesn't display the whole thing unless I select it, and then it scrolls to show the whole thing. So, what I do is to change the metadata so the title is...

Grantville Gazette - Vol XX

After this, it displays correctly in Calibre but not on the Kindle. On the Kindle it displays as if I hadn't changed it.

Now, I will confess here that I used to get these books by torrenting them, but last year I paid for the subscription. When I was torrenting them, I rarely got them in MOBI format. they were usually in .LIT or ePub. I would load them inot Calibre, convert them, and change the title at the same time. This worked just fine and the title displayed correctly.

The problem I'm having now is specific to the "legal" ones, which I always get in MOBI format.

Any idea what the problem is? Does it have anything to do with not having to convert the format?

TIA
