2 intsances of GnuCash running is certainly possible on Linux also. I do
this deliberately with different files open on occasion on Linux Mint (with
no observable Problems other than sharing the configuation files).

Sorry, I meant also that maybe you *just* ran the tool after the fact.

Adrien,

I don't see any likely open bugs, but if it doesn't work in a dialog box entry

Good point, thanks.
So if someone wanted to style that tab, it would need an id/class, which it
doesn’t have. I don’t think too many have a need so adding one probably isn’t
necessary as anyone customizing that much can likely live with a bit of a
workaround.

The bug (whose number you haven't provided) is more of an inconvenience than a
