It won't be fixed in the next release because it's not something that GnuCash
can fix. As you say, the work around is to stop WebKit using the GPU with
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment.
There's a typo in your flatpak command line that might trip up somebody not
paying close enough attention. The correct command is
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash
with a space between flatpak and run.
For users whose distros have screwed up the webkitgtk package and aren't using
Flatpak, say
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash
instead or set WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 in the environment some other
way.
Note that this is about webkitgtk not GnuCash so it's completely independent of
GnuCash version. It has been reported for GnuCash releases as early as 4.4.
Also, while there is a known issue with Nvidia drivers (reportedly resolved by
Nvidia Linux driver 535.113.01), there are a couple of other ways that
packagers can screw up the webkitgtk dependencies and break GPU acceleration
regardless of GPU brand.
All of which said, Arch Linux managed to screw up their webkitgtk package so
thoroughly that disabling GPU acceleration didn't help. There's a systemd
journal crash on https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798549 that you can
use to recognize the problem. I think Arch have fixed it but it might still
manifest in other distros.
