Hi Jacob, I don't think the missing gwengui-gtk3 package is related. We anticipated it would not be available on several distros by the time gnucash 3 would be released. So if that package is not found, gnucash will be built with an internal copy of this package. So regardless of whether your distro ships it, gnucash will have access to a copy. In addition, gwengui-gtk3 is only used for online banking stuff. It should have no influence whatsoever on the summary bar on that Account hierarchy tab.
I have not really much advice to give here as I'm not using Mint. If you wish to experiment a bit further, you may try to run gnucash from a different desktop and/or figure out whether Linux Mint/Mate is running on a Wayland compositor or an X11 one.
