That's a preference. Did other preferences not carry over?

Investigate the Wiki for GnuCash storage locations and check to see if 
your preference file is intact. (and if not, you can restore it from a 
backup)

Try Actions > Check & Repair > Check & Repair All. That should be done 
after each major version jump. (One would think it should automatically 
run on such an upgrade, and maybe it does, but sometimes it might not 
work I suppose)

The Wiki also has a list of dependencies you can check.

How did you install GnuCash?
