Are you using MacOS by any chance? There is a bug already filed on something similar for that environment. Retina displays also seem to be involved in some cases.

https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776602

The workaround for now, seems to be either resize the window manually, or by maximizing or going full screen. (and then back to the previous size if you like) And/or ‘document tabs’ need to be turned off in the Dock preferences. (Mine is set to `In Full Screen Only` where the default is `Always`)

Also, please trim the non-relevant parts of a message when replying, in this case, you should have just started a new thread rather than hitting `reply`.

Regards,
Adrien
