Hi again
I got back up and running. Turns out that reports are broken in my
build. Opening any report like profit/loss or cashflow report will cause
my system to lock up to a point where I have to do a hard reset. Not
sure how that can be accomplished on a modern kernel, but probably some
variant of a fork bomb. Though I can see that CPU usage seems relatively
low while load average rises to extreme levels. Screen keeps updating,
but there is no reaction to input.
I'm assuming reports aren't generally broken in 3.4, so we are back to
the dependency issue. Do you have a pointer to where I should look for
issues with reports?

Hi Geert
I'm starting a backup now to prepare for upgrade, I don't think I will
do more in this direction. I tried this in both Ubuntu Mate 18.04 and
Mint 19.1 in VMs, and both looked fine. So just backing up and running a
long overdue upgrade instead.
I'm pretty sure Mate runs on X11 though.

Hi Jacob,
I don't think the missing gwengui-gtk3 package is related. We anticipated
it would not be available on several distros by the time gnucash 3 would
be released. So if that package is not found, gnucash will be built with
an internal copy of this package. So regardless of whether your distro
ships it, gnucash will have access to a copy.
In addition, gwengui-gtk3 is only used for online banking stuff. It should
have no influence whatsoever on the summary bar on that Account hierarchy
tab.
I have not really much advice to give here as I'm not using Mint. If you
wish to experiment a bit further, you may try to run gnucash from a
different desktop and/or figure out whether Linux Mint/Mate is running on
a Wayland compositor or an X11 one.
Regards,

Hi Geert
This is Mint on the Mate desktop. I found this from the configure log
that seems related: "No package 'gwengui-gtk3' found"
This package is not available in the Ubuntu 16.04 base, but was
introduced in 18.04. If this package is critical to GnuCash then it
seems the configure script has a bug here. I can see that I have the
gtk2 version of the package installed, perhaps that causes the confusion?
I'm not sure I will get closer to this. I have been putting off an
upgrade for far too long and it is probably easier to do the upgrade and
try again.

The summary bar is using stock gtk widgets. So if there's a library
dependency issue it would be gtk or one of its dependencies.
Note gnucash switched from gtk2 to gtk3 between gnucash 2.6 and 3. This
has
lots of visual side effects because gtk3's default styling is quite
different from gtk2's.
This shows in lots of ways. Increased padding in various places (like in
the register as you mention) is one example.
I don't see the summary bar inflation on Fedora 29, though the summary
bar
pop-up is not really consistent in where it pops up. It's usually way
too
high.
What desktop environment are you using on Mint 18.3 ? And is it using
Wayland or X11 ? If it is Wayland, can you try an X11 session ?

Hi
Not sure if this is a dev or user question, but I suspect the people
who
can answer are devs.
I am trying to get 3.4 to run on Mint 18.3 (Ubuntu 16.04 base). I have
gotten it to build, but the summary bar on the accounts tab is screwed
up. If I click it, it looks somewhat fine, but if I close it, it is
about three times as high as it should be, and there are no numbers on
it. Also, all the fields seem to clutter together on the left side.
Not much of an issue, but it might be relevant. It seems like the font
used for transactions in the ledger has slightly bigger spacing around
the text compared to my previous version (2.6)
I'm guessing this is probably a dependency thing, but can somebody help
narrow down which one? Which lib is used for this summary bar.
