John,
PR: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/2138
This PR resolves the issue noted below by resetting the managed gui
components to the new session prior to clearing the old session when
saving to a new file.

John,
PR: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/2137
gnc-plugin-page-account-tree.cpp (not gnc-plugin-page-account-tree.c)
The fix also appears to address the crash that occurs when switching
files or shutting down.
Note: When files are first saved, changes to the account page are lost
because a new Qof session is created without adjusting the registered
gui components. This appears to be a log standing issue to be addressed
some other day.

John,
I'm calling it a night...
The issue was introduced in gnc-plugin-page-account-tree.c.
Commenting out lines 773 and 774 appears sufficient.
The order of the calls in gnc-file.c is correct.
It's the destroy of the tree view preserves the state in a Qof buffer
that is written out to the gcm file by the gnc_state_save call.
I should have a PR tomorrow.

Sherlock,
Sure. I’m eyeball-deep in Windows build problems that I need to sort
out so that I can test the fix for the transfer dialog crash.
Swapping those two lines (there are three locations in gnucash/
gnome- utils/gnc-file.c) would be the first thing I’d try.

John,
I was able to reproduce the issue after I saw your initial
response. Would you like me to take look? From your description,
it sounds like the gnc_state_save needs to be called before the GUI
components are destroyed.

Sherlock

Sherlock,
It’s real. I reproduced it on GnuCash 5.13. I suspect that it’s
another side effect of https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/
commit/4c09a0feee698855f095f9729a4856033cbd0522. gnc_state_save is
called immediately *after* gnc_close_gui_component_by_session
which is supposed to destroy all of the GUI components having the
state, thereby relying on the components being leaked.

Hi Roger,
You did not have to install 5.13. See https://sourceforge.net/
projects/gnucash/files/gnucash%20(stable)/
The column widths are metadata maintained in the book's .gcm file
in the GNC_DATA_HOME directory. See https://lists.gnucash.org/
wiki/Configuration_Locations
I suspect when you replaced your PC, you either neglected to
restore the GnuCash configuration files or their attributes.

Sherlock

Hello
I have had to replace my PC and so have had to install build
5.13. I find
that this does not remember changes to column widths in my list
of accounts
whereas build 5.10 on another laptop does. Is this a bug that
will be
rectified shortly? I cannot see any setting that I can change to
give effect
to this.
Roger
