Greg, 2.4.x was a very old release. Did you properly go through the version by version upgrade on both machines, or did you just jump from 2.4.13 to 5.3?

And what do you mean exactly by 'display accounts on the page'? Can he not open more than 4 register tabs? (so 5 tabs total including the ever-present 'Accounts' tab) Maybe a screenshot here will help clarify. Obfuscate any sensitive numbers/info of course.

As for the negative numbers issue:

That preference is for the Accounts Tab & various Register Tabs.

Reports have their own separate display controls via Style Sheets.

Unless otherwise specified, all reports use the 'Default' style sheet.

You can set a custom style sheet via Options, or else edit the default style sheet via Edit > Style Sheets.

From there, select 'Default' and click the Edit button. You'll see on the Fonts tab an option for 'Negative numbers in red' that you can un-select.

Click 'Apply', Then reload the report. Future reports should behave accordingly.

Regards,
Adrien

Hi, several weeks ago, I installed GNUcash vs 5.3.  I had been using vs 2.4.13. I used to be the financial accountant at our church for 20 years until my disability forced me  to retire.  The man that took over uses 2.4.13, however installed 5.3 on one of his Windows 10 laptops, but he is having issues, where I am not.

The issue he is having, is that he can not display more than 4 accounts at one time on the page.  I have no problems displaying even 7 accounts.  After displaying more than 4 accounts, they just horizontally shrink to accommodate more accounts on my Windows 10 laptop.  His does not.  He can only display 4 accounts.  Is there a setting to change that will allow him to display more than 4 accounts?

The issue I am having: Despite changing the option not to display negative numbers is red in the preferences,  negative numbers still show up in red in reports.
