Catching up on old emails... Up until a few months ago, I was running Xubuntu (XFCE on Ubuntu) and definitely saw the SX choices pop up in other places on the display. Have to admit I laughed at myself when I finally saw it--who knows how many times I had clicked and just didn't see it displaced on the screen. I was lazy and never submitted a bug, figuring it was some combination of library and driver that would get worked out. I thought the problem went away--maybe at least last year?--as I don't recall seeing it for a while. (Ran Xubuntu for several years, but a few months ago decided to try Budgie.)
Since we're talking about where things draw on the screen, I do use a desktop with 2 monitors. -- *Jim Passmore* On Sat, Aug 23, 2025 at 12:18 AM David Carlson <[email protected]> wrote: > Just to add another experience, I am running GnuCash release 4.8 in a XFCE > desktop in Linux Lite 6.6, in a VM.
