I then logged in as a different user and had that independent user create a new gnucash file using the normal installed version of gnucash (4.8).  Same problem, no column for linked documents (the number column follows the date column).

The second screen shot shows the display of the register of a new account.  The entry I created does have a document linked to it and I can access that document (but the column indicating it exists is missing).
