[GNC] Calendar does not pop up

[john]

The calendar itself is a GtkCalendar, https://developer-old.gnome.org/gtk3/3.24/GtkCalendar.html, wrapped in gnucash/register/register-gnome/gnucash-date-picker.*  which adds the popup behavior and gnucash/register/register-gnome/datecell-gnome.c. You probably should start by setting a breakpoint in popup_get_height (https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/58d37b75b09e71805bc0bc932866b00e5051bd94/gnucash/register/register-gnome/datecell-gnome.c#L650) to see if it's getting a sane value.

Regards,
John Ralls
