Thanks Geert, that at leas would enable it but how do I bring up the
inspector to use it? The link to gnome.org only discusses using the
inspector in a Linux environment but it doesn't say how to bring it up
in a Windows environment.

The wiki has a 'file locations' map for each major OS. Be certain if you
are on Windows that you are following the map for the current version.
They changed at least from 2.x to 3.x, and may have been changed again.
(I don't use Windows, so can't advise, but it should be obvious in the Wiki)
As for non-focused issues, I can at least report that this does not
happen to me on MacOS. Something else might be amiss.
If I recall, each OS is on a different GTK+ version, so some CSS
directives will behave differently. (as well as the default GTK itself)
The key to solving this would be to use the GTK Inspector as the Wiki
describes, but I don't think that is available on Windows. You'd have to
fire up a virtual machine, install GnuCash in it, then inspect the
various tabs/windows of the app to find out what is going on. And then,
if the problem does not re-appear in Linux, then...
Another option "might" be to try WSL, but I don't know if the Inspector
will then work on a Windows app, or if you have to install GnuCash via
WSL too. (and then you're right back at the same problem with a VM and
different GTK versions)
WSL is a linux VM running under Windows. As such it has the same limitations
with regards
to GnuCash and the Gtk Inspector. That is Gtk Inspector running under WSL can't
'inspect'
GnuCash running natively on Windows.
But that's not important as the inspector is part of Gtk3 and available
anywhere Gtk3 is used,
including Windows. The trick is to know how to enable it. The general idea is
that if
environment variable "GTK_DEBUG" is set to "interactive" while gnucash is
starting, the
inspector will be started. How to set environment variables is platform
dependent, but the
mechanism works on all platforms (I have just tested Windows and linux).
For convenience I have just now added a snippet to our Gtk3 wiki [1] to
illustrate how to set
the variable using the "environment.local" file in path/to/etc/gnucash. Again
this path/to/etc/
gnucash varies per platform, but its contents will be the same everywhere. And
it's only one
way to do it. Any way that sets the environment variable prior to gnucash
startup will do the
trick.
