Hi, Sorry to bother everybody again. I'm pretty sure this is a Gentoo-package specific bug instead of GnuCash now. When I build and install GnuCash 4.8 from source code downloaded from GitHub directly, everything works fine and this problem does not exist anymore.
This bug only exists when I install GnuCash 4.8 through Gentoo's official repository. It should be a Gentoo package bug, not GnuCash's bug. I'll report it to the package maintainer. Thanks for your help.
