Quoting a previous message from John Ralls may be of value to resolve this issue:

It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that GnuCash can fix. As you say, the work around is to stop WebKit using the GPU with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment.

There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up somebody not paying close enough attention. The correct command is
    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
with a space between flatpak and run.
For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and aren't using Flatpak, say
    WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment some other way.

Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely independent of GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash releases as early as 4.4. Also, while there is a known issue with Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by Nvidia Linux driver 535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that packagers can screw up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration regardless of GPU brand.

All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk package so thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help. There's a systemd journal crash on https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can use to recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still manifest in other distros.

I have GNUCASH version 5.6 Build ID Flathub 5.6-1 under Linux Mint 21.3.
Hopefully this will help the great developers behind GNUCASH in
identifying the root cause.

I just upgraded to Fedora 40, cinnamon, and continue to have blank
reports and invoices from within gnucash, but when printed to PDF, they
look fine.

I've tried some other themes in Cinnamon, but it appears the same
thing.

I've attached a sample of what I mean:


How do I fix this?  The data is there, because when I print to PDF, the
file looks fine.
