Turns out, I have outsmarted myself. And I wallow, wallow, I tell you, in my own smugness.
A while back, I wanted to break test names into two lines and found that <br/> seemed to do that. Some one warned me that might break something further on. But, did I listen? Yes, but there was no follow up, so I bumbled on.
Well, I guess it does break something, as some testing indicates the <br/> is what is causing this problem. Ah, well, Monday starts a new week.

Running Hobbit 4.2.0. After rename of some custom tests and deleting the old name, discovered that trying to view History tells me "cannot open history file". It appears there is no history file for the newly named tests, that I can find. Neither is there one for the old named tests, which is probably due to my having deleted the test column.
I know there was history for the old named test.
Not quite sure what you did, but the recommended method for renaming a test - and keeping the history - is
bb 127.0.0.1 "rename HOSTNAME oldtest newtest"
That will rename the history files. It won't do the RRD file (since what RRD files belong to a test is rather difficult to determine), but you can rename those manually in the ~hobbit/data/rrd/HOSTNAME/ directory.
