[GNC] Fwd: Impossible to generate reports.

[John Ralls]

I'll be amazed if that works. GnuCash has its own instance of WebKit and reports don't interact with the system browser at all, unless of course one exports HTML from the report and then opens it with the system browser.

Which the OP might consider for a workaround.
