[GNC] Printable invoice tab/screen does not display the invoice to be printed

[Charlie Morrison]

To add to Bruce's answer, if you use Linux, there can be an issue with 
webkitgtk that can result in blank reports.  Starting Gnucash with 
compositing disabled for webkitgtk will usually fix the blank report 
problem.  Use the following command in a terminal to start Gnucash and 
see if the problem is corrected:

WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash

(Or WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash if 
you use flatpak)

If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental 
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it.
