Thanks for the workaround. I just confirmed that some combination of right-clicks (bringing up the menu) and left clicks restores the tab label to its proper position.
I noticed this morning John Ralls pushed an update to the Flatpak so I installed the update. I am now running the latest flatpak version (Version: 4.4 Build ID: Flathub 4.4-4). It's still behaving similarly I just opened Bug 798129 https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798129 HOW TO TRIGGER THE BUG 1) Open GnuCash and open enough accounts and/or reports to have more tabs than will fit across the top of the screen. 2) Scroll back and forth through the tabs using the arrow buttons to the right and left of the tabs. Clicking and HOLDING an arrow seems to most reliably trigger the bug. 3) Eventually one or more of the tabs will be rendered in the wrong location as shown in the attached screenshot. (The tab area will be blank, and while it may be hard to see, it's rendered BELOW the tab area.) Workaround to restore a tab label: 1) Right-click in the empty tab area to bring up the tabs menu. Occasionally this is all you need to do to make the text reappear. 2) (If the tab is still blank) Left-click in the blank area to close the tabs menu. The tab label sometimes reappears in the correct position by this point. 3) (If the tab is still blank) Left-click again in the blank area. The label usually reappears in the correct position by this point. On Sun, Feb 14, 2021 at 1:07 PM A Harvey <gah1...@gmail.com> wrote: > I played around with it for a few minutes.
