Fair enough.
I see you managed to clear it up with a registry edit.
I did manage to get a similar looking invoice to yours by default
though. That was via Reports > Business > Fancy Invoice.
The other options of Easy, Printable, & Tax Invoice are more sane looking.
You can change the 'default' Invoice template to Fancy (not that you'd
want to now) via Preferences > Business > Report for printing. I'd bet
you had it set for the Fancy template before your re-install and regedit
attempt.

As a side note here, maybe take from a clean install, a copy of the
settings location folders as a backup to do a quick restore. For the
registry entries, I think you can export selected folders/keys as a
subset that can be 're-imported' if needed rather than have to manually
edit individual keys. (This is how installations work behind the scenes)
I don't recall all of those steps as I haven't regularly used Windows in
years, but I know it can be done.

Your fix works for an invoice, but the next time I try to generate one, the
same problem persists. So I don't think that's an ideal solution. I don't
want to have to change it manually each time. Originally the default
invoice looked reasonable (no duplicated company name). I was messing
around with the style sheets a week or so ago when I caused the problem. I
know I created it, and also moving the accounts to a Linux workstation does
not show the problem. So the problem was caused by me on this Windows
laptop and remains on the laptop, not the .gnucash file. I have somehow
changed the default invoice (and bill), and left the changes in a location
I can't find.
I tried changing the location I saved files from the Documents folder to
the Desktop. But that does not solve the problem.
I'm 99% sure there was an uninstall program on version 4.12. But maybe
Windows put one in the GnuCash folder.
Looking at this
https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Configuration_Diagrams_-_Windows
GnuCash uses files in HOME\AppData\Local. That's not listed on the help
menu.
You might laugh, but I'm going to uninstall again, and see if I can clear
out anything from HOME\AppData\Local. Perhaps then I can restore the
default behaviour to something sensible.
