This is yet another red herring.  I have never seen the symptom you
describe and I have been using Gnucash on Ubuntu for years.

I think it would be worth eliminating the Wayland issue (though I don't
think it is likely to be the cause). Wayland is planned to be a replacement
for the X windowing s/w but it isn't really ready for general use yet. I
don't remember exactly what the login screen looked like on 18.04, but if
you logout then on the panel with your user name there may be a settings
icon, or possibly an Ubuntu icon and if you click that it will give you
some selections.  If not there then on the screen where you enter your
password.  First see what is marked as selected already.  You want one that
says Ubuntu on X or maybe just Ubuntu, but doesn't mention Wayland.  If you
are not sure then come back with the options available.
