Thanks John 
I do indeed have built-from-source GnuCash installed and that's likely the issue.

As an aside.
I was having issues with reports not displaying recently, hence installing with apt. 
Whilst troubleshooting I found your mail
https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2023-October/109024.html
I added a comment to bug 799095 about it not just being NVIDIA drivers.

Thanks again.

Maybe I should do some bug fixing again, since I'm now retired. :)

Mike
