Hi Nike,

Glad you have resolved your problem.
Unless this problem is happening often, it is not worth spending any time trying to fix.
It may have been caused by something other than a GnuCash program problem, such as a hardware or operating system problem.

Regards,
Chris Good

Thanks for the suggestion.

This problem seems to have mysteriously disappeared. It persisted through one full session, and an eventual crash, but relaunching GnuCash seems to have fixed it. I don’t really know what happened; maybe some transient data corruption?
