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.
