Program hangs on Report Net Worth

[D]

Hello Peter,

You don't say which version you are trying, or which operating system. It's also not clear whether you had run this report in an earlier version without delays.I

I will note, however, that what you are describing isn't technically "hanging", since the program continues to function. What you are observing is the time it takes to run that report. I have seen several reports (for example, the barchart report) that take minutes to run. This is, I have been told, a result of flawed report program logic. While it is certainly annoying, I haven't done anything about it, in large part because I am not a programmer. I believe I submitted a bug about the barchart report, since it is so painfully slow. I imagine that the line chart report uses similarly flawed logic.

Dear All,
 
Since installing the current version of Gnucash, I've noticed a problem that
might be just a coincidence.
 
With the app set to open with just the Account Register showing, there is no
problem. It opens normally. 
 
But if I try to create a "Reports/Assets & Liabilities/Net Worth Linechart,"
the program hangs for about a minute before resuming. Same thing occurs if I
save with this Report open (on the tab bar), then re-open the app.
 
I've tried saving the file to a new location, using Save-As. Same thing.
 
I've tried deleting the saved-reports-2.4 file and backup from
C:\Users\NAME\.gnucash. Same thing.
 
Can anyone suggest a way forward?
 
Regards,
