David, GC is not touching gtk-3.0.css or accelerator-map in /home/<user>/.config/gnucash.
GC does touch accelerator-map in /home/<user>/.local/share/gnucash, but gtk-3.0.css is not there. If I copy it there, GC does not touch it. And I cannot find any gtk-3.0.css in /home/<user>/ that it is touching. I suppose I will try to go back to 4.6 and see if it works again. > Message: 6 > Date: Tue, 21 Dec 2021 06:10:02 +1000 > From: [email protected] > To: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [GNC] 4.9 on Ubuntu 20.04 not saving preferences > Message-ID: <[email protected]> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8" > > Tim, > > Any changes to the gtk setup files are going to be inunder > /home/<user>/.config/gnucash.
