Re: [GNC] Error on Receivable Ageing Report
Thanks for the link, it's reassuring that it's not a corruption of my data file. I've no wish to get bogged down with building GC from source, so I'll keep my fingers crossed that Ubuntu 19.4 provides version 3.4. It's not a show-stopper anyway.

The manual tells me quite clearly that Preferences are per-user, not per-file, so I can’t complain that Gnucash isn’t doing what’s intended!

I have exactly the same problem. I keep the accounts for two organisations, one has a financial year ending 31st December, the other ending 31st March, so when I get reports for one of them I have to set the start and end dates manually.

I'm not sure how to raise a bug report, but it seems to have been a problem for a long time so I'd be surprised if nobody's reported it already. Unfortunately it's a behavior of GtkWebKitWebView, which is what GnuCash uses for rendering, displaying, and printing reports. There's no immediately practical alternative for us to switch to, so there's not much we can do about it. I will add this is only a problem still on Windows and OS X. On linux we have been able to upgrade to a more recent version of GtkWebKitWebView which no longer has this issue. Our attempts to upgrade to that same version on Windows and OS X have failed so we chose to stick with the older versions there and live with this particular bug. Geert I hope to upgrade to Kubuntu 18.04 soon, so maybe I'll get the new versions then. In the meantime Maf. King's work around has solved the problem for me. Thanks.
