okay that makes sense. I only just started diving in and hadn't yet seen 
the "view menu" setting for that.

debian unstable. this is Reports=>Income & Expense=>Income Statement. 
The behavior is consistent for me. I have the accounts tab and the one 
report open. The first clicked link opens fine. Each subsequent one 
pushes the bottom of the window down a few pixels. Also, the little 
diagonal lines for stretching the window are not being redrawn in the 
right spot. I'll try to get some screenshots up.
