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

[Indiana]

Hello Charlie.

I ran 
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
and the invoice became viewable!!! Thank you!
I then ran
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1
and I got 
command not found

Here is a video screen capture of what I did.

Thank you for your help.
