Yes, that fixed it. I added *'env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1'* to
the exec in my .desktop file and reports now render properly.
I also found variations of this fix online as well. One person said that
putting this line in '/etc/gnucash/environment' solved the problem for him.
That didn't work for me though, not sure why, unless the gnucash
environment file is just a relic...?
Working now in any case. Thanks for the response.
