I'm a bit surprised that 2.6 handles this correctly.

The setting of concern is in Preference di Sistema>Dock. Change the setting for Apri nuovo document come panello to one of the other choices besides Sempre--either Solo in modalità a tuto schermo or manualmente and restart GnuCash. Your screenshots clearly show that the Apple tab bar is engaged. This is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1029.
