Hi, Yes, I'm using Gentoo and install it directly from official Gentoo repository.
I have tried reproduce this issue with a clean installed openSUSE which also has GnuCash 4.8 in their official repository. But everything is fine within OpenSUSE, preference could be correctly read and write. It must be a Gentoo-specific issue, I'll report it to Gentoo's package maintainers first. Thanks for all of your help. john <jra...@ceridwen.us> 於 2021年11月23日 週二 上午8:57寫道： > > David, > > He's using Gentoo eMerge.
