I'm not the original poster, but I have had the focus issue with GnuCash for awhile now, maybe six months? I run the latest Flatpak release version of GnuCash (currently 4.10+) on Ubuntu 21.10. Fortunately I DON'T usually run GnuCash full screen, and my primary system has two sizable monitors. When the dialog in back keeps me from proceeding, I have been able to scoot the windows around (such as onto the other monitor) so that I can get to whichever window is blocking the startup. But it's an annoyance.
I have not kept track of when, but it only happens maybe once every few application launches; not every time. I suspect it must have to do with some specific circumstance with the "since last run" dialog, maybe only when it has automatically created a scheduled transaction? (Very few of MY scheduled transactions create completely automatically -- most of mine require some editing, such as the transaction amount, so I almost always review them once created.) I also keep nine separate GnuCash book files for different entities I manage, so it's likely it only affects one I don't open every day. Next time it happens I will make a note of the circumstances as best I can and try to report back here. If someone has opened a bug, let me know so I can subscribe to it.
