I am not sure if this is something new with 5.4, but I notice when I exit from GnuCash (windows 11), there is a background process left running.
In task manager the process is called "GnuCash Program File (32 bit)" ... it uses 0% CPU, takes 76.9MB memory, and 0% disk. But it is always running. The reason I found this is that I observed something was locking up one of the Gnucash log files - I know this because I keep by Gnucash files on OneDrive and I now sometimes get sync errors due to log file being "in use" even after I shut down Gnucash. I assume it is the background process that is using a log file preventing it from being synced properly even after GnuCash shuts down. I also observe the online finance quote retrieval has changed with 5.4. Specifically, previously there was always a window frame pop-up while quote retrieval was happening. Since 5.4, this no longer happens. The retrieval happens but there is no window showing anywhere ... did online quote retrieval move to a background process perhaps. I wonder if the background process issue is related to some change in how GnuCash triggers online quote retrievals? I am considering to revert back to previous GnuCash version to confirm the background process locking issue goes away.
