The first is a design mismatch between Apple’s full-screen mode and Gtk. Gtk uses NSWindows for all top levels, including dialogs, and Apple’s full-screen mode makes all NSWindows full screen. Escape doesn’t exit full-screen. View>Exit Full Screen does, but it’s disabled when there’s a modal dialog running, and the Edit Accounts Dialog is modal. I tried it out just now and found that in the case where you got wedged there are two GnuCash screens, filename.gnucash-AccountName-Gnucash and New Account-Expenses-Foo. The first is black because its event loop is stopped, but hovering at the top will reveal the menu. The other is the full-screened Edit Accounts dialog box. Clicking cancel on the Edit Accounts dialog box leaves the full-screen GnuCash window black, but one can get the view menu and click Exit Full Screen. What happens next is a bit weird: The screen stays black. Using command tab to switch to another application and back to GnuCash displays the not-full-screen GnuCash on that new desktop.
