I have noticed this, too; I believe it's a screen refresh issue. I'm trying
to replicate it on Ubuntu 19.10 and cannot, so I think it's an issue with a
build based upon Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (which your Mint probably is). That's the
version I use in my office.

Here's what I have noticed -- I click on a transaction and choose Delete
from the toolbar. A confirmation dialog pops up, and I agree that I want to
delete, but the transaction does not disappear from the register. HOWEVER
if I close and reopen the register, (or maybe if I choose View --> Refresh
?) the transaction is gone.

I have noticed a few other display issues with GnuCash built for Ubuntu
18.04. The register colors are strange around the text, especially
noticeably on the date field.

Unfortunately I also noticed that the spacing of items on the register
changed slightly when I installed the GTK Inspector (as was discussed on
this list a few days ago in reference to CSS issues). I say "unfortunately"
because I believe it was the act of installing the libraries and other
components of the development tools that subtly changed the way the
application appears, which I presume might make it harder to fix.

I glanced through the bug reports in bugzilla and didn't see one but maybe
I missed it.
