Thanks John. I can confirm that the version shown is 5.16-3 in NextStep column view as well.

Cheers.

For instance, on open, a Schedule Tranasactions list pops up, but without the application having focus. I dismiss the Scheduled Transactions dialog and GnuCash loses focus again. Same thing happens when I create an invoice, or for that matter, any workflow in GnuCash that brings up a popup makes the app lose focus.
