Yes, this is exactly it. The line chart shows a span of time. I currently have 5 years’ history in GnuCash and that includes several accounts which are no longer active. For example, I’ve moved a couple times since then and opened and closed credit union accounts as a result.
Show Hidden Accounts is already an option in the report settings, it just doesn’t work in the current software, for who knows what reason. I opened a bug report for this issue here: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798348 The GnuCash dev team is fantastic and I’m sure they'll get to it when they can.
