Thanks John for explaining what is causing the issue.
Not sure why the space between "flatpak" and "run" disappeared on my
email that went to the list. The space is there on my sent copy???
I'm using Manjaro Linux and the current Nvidia driver is 470.223.02-27.
I think there are too many issues in the 535 version for them to get it
into stable yet. Once the Nvidia driver is updated to the 535 version I
will check to see if I still need to use the
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 fix.
Thanks, Charlie

It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that
GnuCash can fix. As you say, the work around is to stop WebKit using
the GPU with WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment.
There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up
somebody not paying close enough attention. The correct command is
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
with a space between flatpak and run.
For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and
aren't using Flatpak, say
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment
some other way.
Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely
independent of GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash
releases as early as 4.4. Also, while there is a known issue with
Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by Nvidia Linux driver
535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that packagers can screw
up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration regardless of
GPU brand.
All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk
package so thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help.
There's a systemd journal crash on
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can use to
recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still
manifest in other distros.

If you have an Nvidia GPU, there is an issue rendering reports in
Linux. There is a bug report discussing it and it may be fixed for
the next release but I'm not sure about that. The report information
is there but you can't see it.
The workaround is to set an environmental variable that disables
compositing in Webkitgtk. You can check to see if this fixes it for
you by starting Gnucash in the terminal using the following command:
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpakrun org.gnucash.GnuCash
If that allows you to see the reports, then setting the environmental
variable "WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1" will fix it. I have no
idea how to do that in Linux Mint however.

One further addendum: I can print the report as a PDF, I just
cannot see the report on my terminal.
Very weird!!!

My apologies in advance because I think this question has been
asked and answered. I have been running gnucash on Linux Mint and
Windows forever, and I am a fairly low impact user. I only run
reports when it's time to see the tax man, so I don't know when
simple stored reports like Profit and Loss and Balance Sheet
stopped working. I presently have flathub 5.4.1 running on Linux
Mint 21.2. These same reports work fine on the Windows version of
gnucash [ Version 5.4 Build ID: 5.3-412-g53245caebf+(2023-09-23)
]. I'm obviously not copying something to the correct location on
the flathub version.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!
