Yes, I seem to recall having an issue like that a while ago with an older version, and it might have been version 4.4, but it has been fixed for quite some time now. Chris, could you upgrade to a more recent version? At the very least you should be able to test this by installing the flatpak version. See this page https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Flatpak and go down to the section called "Regular releases at flathub.org".
