I figured out what was going on... I had edit name "off" in the configuration option, but it still shows "Name" in the row header in the Quick updates page but the name doesn't show up below it... so everything was off one name, and the 'e' to edit the product was underneath "Category" so I got confused.

When you turn "Name" off in the options, is the name still supposed to show, but not be editable?
