Adrien,

It’s https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776602 <https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776602> and the most recent discussion there says it’s related to https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1029 <https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1029>, that the new-in-Sierra application window tab feature messes up Gtk’s understanding of mouse coordinates.

Nike,

Are you using MacOS-level tabs? If so, turn them off.

Regards,
John Ralls

Eg, if you have two entries say Hotel A $10 and Hotel B $20 on after the other, then clicking the line for Hotel A toggles the checkmark for Hotel B. The same thing happens in the assignment of categories -- eg, have Biz, and then Books, but if I clck Biz, what seems to be selected is Books. And for some reason the category doesn't get updated in the import window either.
