[GNC] latest gnucash release (3.1) feedback

[John Ralls]

There’s no point in sending the crash report to Apple, but there is a point to sending it to us. Please file a bug report and attach it. As Adrien says, you can find it using /Applications/Utilities/Console under “User Diagnostics”. Control-click the report in the sidebar and select “show in finder” to see where it’s actually located.

Regards,
John Ralls

With 2.6.19, they all open at once; with 3.1-1, they open in sequence (is there also a redraw in there somewhere?) which gives an impression of "flashing".

I was reconciling each of my high activity accounts at beginning of month last week; the first two went smoothly; I opened the account to reconcile the third, clicked the Reconcile button, and GnuCash crashed "completely", just disappeared and stopped. The Apple crash dialog came up, but I wasn't sure if there was value in sending anything to Apple. No data loss, but concerning.

>> You can tailor the colors and fonts to your liking using a custom CSS file. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘layout’ but the new Gtk+3 version does have more padding in many areas. I don’t think this is easily changeable, but it might be possible.

>> I’m not sure what is causing your flickering issues though. (I’m using High Sierra on a Mac Mini and don’t see any such issues) Those would probably be worth filing bug reports over. However, there’s a good chance those are video card related and might not be necessarily solvable via GnuCash code. Do you use any other Gtk+3 apps on your Mac? (if so and those apps don’t flicker, then that would help to show it is a GnuCash problem and not a Gtk problem)

>>> What I do not like about the new 3.1 is:(1) there seems to be a lot of graphics issues at launch,,, page flickers and windows flash(2) basically, I do not like the way the color scheme works;  colored tabs almost makes it impossible to read the tab.  this is unlike prior versions where tab color did not interfere with tab titles(3) overall, I do not like the new layout/color/font... the look is totally different and I do not like it.(4) Maybe if there weren't issues 1 and 2, #3 would not be quite so noticeable and I might not have even noticed.
