Many thanks for your patient explanation and for updating the wiki.

As you suggested, the command:

sudo flatpak install gnucash 
org.gnucash.GnuCash//stable-C5.8-20-ga84189b79d-D5.7-2-ge45aa63c

successfully installed the nightly build.

When I start GnuCash, it now shows the expected build ID from 15 July on the 
splash screen.

However, I don't see any improvement in the described behavior.
When I create a new (sub-)account, it doesn't appear in tha account tree, not even after 
"View - Refresh".
Again, I have to search for the new account in "Edit - Find Account".
When the account shows up in the search results, double-clicking it then adds 
it to the account tree.

Please let me know what additional diagnostic data I can provide.
Thanks again for your help.

Immediately above the example you quoted from the wiki page it says:
Often you can find test versions on the build-server. They come in two flavours:

   Stable
     Version 5.8 plus all recent bug fixes, but no new features:
     https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/?C=M;O=D
   Future
     Only available after the implementation of a feature from Release 
Schedule#Goals for 6.0!
     Version 5.8 plus new features, but bug fixes can be delayed a few days:
      https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/future/?C=M;O=D
Tip
   The file names in these directories can be used in the example below after 
trimming the ?gnucash-? prefix and ?.flatpakref? suffix.

That means go to the first 
link,https://code.gnucash.org/builds/flatpak/stable/, and find the nightly 
build that you want. The build dates are in the right-hand column. Copy the 
filename without ?gnucash-? and ?.flatpakref? and paste it on the command line 
in place of the example commit.

You perhaps missed that we changed the branch names from ?maint? and ?master? 
to ?stable? and ?future? when we released 5.0.

  I?ve replaced the example in the wiki with the most recent build and added a 
note mentioning the old branch names.

Regards,
John Ralls
