I got an intro splash and a window telling me it’s easy to reach GnuCash developers, then it crashed and I got the crash report window.

I moved the two program files into that folder and copied over all the other files in the .dmg file into that same folder.  It still crashes, in the same way, every time I try to run it.

You’ll find a link in both bug reports to a test bundle with the Gtk bugs fixed that you can download and install, or you can wait until GnuCash 3.4 is released at the end of this month.

Thank you!

Got it and it’s working just fine.

I don’t know if it matters, but I am *not* using the Mojave dark mode.  (In case anyone needs to know about that for any bug fixing.)
