Searching the archives of this list I found a thread a year ago. This suggestion was part way through the thread: < https://lists.gnucash.org/pipermail/gnucash-user/2020-January/089080.html> It seems to be only for Mac computers so there is no info that I could find for Linux or Windoze. For either it might be an OS or workspace setting.
