  • Bug#1110171: There is a solution

    From Cam Ellison@21:1/5 to All on Sun Aug 3 06:10:01 2025
    The problem - at least for me - is an environment variable, but it's
    more complicated than that.

    Starting gnucash from the command line,
    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash solves the problem

    One might think that exporting that command (export WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1) would solve the problem, but it doesn't.

    My machine uses XFCE, and the solution for starting from the desktop
    requires editing /usr/share/applications/gnucash.desktop by replacing
    the line:

    Exec=gnucash %f

    with

    Exec=bash -c 'WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1; gnucash %f'

    The Exec command must be followed by an executable, and any environment settings are ignored.

    I think we can close this bugreport.

    Cheers

    Cam
