[GNC] Issues

[Greg]

Hi Adrien,  I realize that 2.4.13, was extremely old, but it completely 
worked for me.  Whenever I upgraded, I always had a new set of issues, I 
really didn't have time to deal with.  2.4.13 started acting a little 
flaky with Windows 10, so I thought it may be time to install 5.3.  When 
I installed 5.3 on my machine, I first completely deleted 2.4.13 , 
including the configuration and report files.  I then snooped all over 
the computer and deleted anything pertaining to GNUcash.  I then ran 
CCleaner and Privazer and deleted any residual registry entries.  I then 
rebooted and did a fresh new install of GNUcash 5.3.   Everything worked 
great.  I was first impressed by the Account Reconciliation report, 
which 2.4.13 lacked.

I'm familiar with the style sheets and created custom ones for our 
purposes. I'll have to check the fonts, as you stated.

I  suppose  I should have said, "Can only display 4 account register 
tabs on the screen, besides the Accounts tab." Normally, the register 
tabs "shrink" to allow more account registers to be displayed, but his 
doesn't. Could that be in Edit/Preferences/Windows?
