$ gtk-launch --version   results in 3.24.30
Adding WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 to .bashrc did not help 

Upgrading to version 4.10 DID help.
I usually wait a bit before I upgrade, but this time could not wait.

Thanks again and take care,Steve

 Please remember to copy the list on all replies.

I just realized that you're using flathub and GnuCash 4.9, so it's definitely the WebKit problem, https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798486. Just get the new 4.10 from flathub and you should be back in business.
