Yes, that fixed it. I added *'env WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1'* to the exec in my .desktop file and reports now render properly. I also found variations of this fix online as well. One person said that putting this line in '/etc/gnucash/environment' solved the problem for him. That didn't work for me though, not sure why, unless the gnucash environment file is just a relic...?
Working now in any case.
