It appears this is related to display settings in KDE, at least in my case it is.  Logging out and in using the failsafe options, in which I just get an xterm, GnuCash doesn't have this issue. Neither does my laptop running PCLinuxOS and KDE.

I'm just remembering that some months ago KDE screwed up my settings (again) amongst the issues was the disappearance lots of icons. My usual recovery method is deleting .kde directory and starting again. I'm thinking that this is about the time the trouble started. I also note that the button to activate the dropdown is round not square like it used to be and on my laptop. Somewhere in my settings/themes/appearance setup there's probably a way to bring some sanity back to the desktop settings. Somewhere...
