[GNC] New accounts don't show up in GC 5.8 under Flathub

[rsbrux]

Many thanks for your patient explanation and for updating the wiki.

As you suggested, the command:

sudo flatpak install gnucash org.gnucash.GnuCash//stable-C5.8-20-ga84189b79d-D5.7-2-ge45aa63c

successfully installed the nightly build.

When I start GnuCash, it now shows the expected build ID from 15 July on the splash screen.

However, I don't see any improvement in the described behavior.
When I create a new (sub-)account, it doesn't appear in tha account tree, not even after "View - Refresh".
Again, I have to search for the new account in "Edit - Find Account".
When the account shows up in the search results, double-clicking it then adds it to the account tree.

Please let me know what additional diagnostic data I can provide.
Thanks again for your help.
