[GNC] More UI downgrades

[Adrien Monteleone]

Russell,

I happen to have a Mint21 VM using VirtualBox I've been trying out so I 
installed GnuCash to test and see if I get the same issue.

I don't. Everything works as expected. There is no gray box and I can 
highlight amounts from the left or right with no problems.

Note, I tested this on a fresh, stock install of Mint21 with all updates 
(as of today) and the only other apps installed are the Vbox Guest 
Additions.

So something must be amiss with your OS or theme. Since you indicated 
you upgraded, there might be something that didn't translate properly.

Maybe consider backing up and doing a fresh Mint install if you can't 
track down the culprit.

The fault lies not with GnuCash.

Regards,
Adrien
