I tested between Mac and Linux and the report ran correctly on both machines.
I’ll test between Mac and Windows next.
I can’t imagine a copy between 2 machines of the same operating system would produce a worse result.
Also, when replying to a digest thread, please replace your digest subject line with a copy of the on within the message so everyone can follow along. Thanks.

In the Display tab, make sure each of the checkboxes for ‘include assets total’, ‘include liabilities total’ and ‘include equity total’ are checked. I’m not sure why opening a copy would un-check them unless you had previous run a balance sheet on that computer with them unchecked. (GnuCash usually is good about remembering your preferences) If you ever need a Balance Sheet regularly with them on AND off, you can save each report configuration instead of running a standard Balance Sheet report.
