Does the nightly 5.13 flatpak have the fix for the instant crash of Gnucash
when you attempt to pay a scheduled payment? The standard stable flatpak
version of 5.13 has the problem I run into with the distro deb package of
Gnucash version 5.13.
Has the bug with not being able to save column widths in main Accounts page
been fixed. I cannot see all of the account names. They are truncated until I
slide the column carat over to view the entire account name. But then when
closing Gnucash and reopening it, the adjusted column width has not been saved
and the account names are back to being truncated.

John,
I hesitate greatly to bring it up, but given the ongoing upheaval surrounding
the initial release of 5.13, would there be any possibility of snap releases to
fix the show stopping bugs? You've done it for Mac releases before, and the
current glitches are affecting a much larger part of the user base...

Ever since my Ubuntu 24.04 distro automatically upgraded me from my previously

I have been advised to install to install the Flatpak version 5.13 but this
too has the same exact problem of crashing when you attempt to pay a scheduled
bill.
I have only been able to downgrade the Flatpak version 5.13 to and older 5.12
commit and that has allowed me to pay my bills.
But the unfortunate side effect is that this 5.12 version has broken
Finance:Quote version 1.67 so I an now unable to pull any of my security quotes.
When will this fiasco with the official stable 5.13 be resolved?
Your Ubuntu 24.04 didn’t automatically upgrade you to GnuCash 5.13. Ubuntu
doesn’t do that with GnuCash, so 24.04 provides only the version of GnuCash
that was available in April 2024, 5.5:
https://packages.ubuntu.com/noble/gnucash.
The latest Ubuntu release, 25.10 “Questing Quokka” has GnuCash 5.13. Perhaps
that's what you’re actually running.
Next, the 5.12 flatpak didn’t break F::Q 1.67, it doesn’t *have* F::Q 1.67, it
has 1.65. Flatpak sandboxing means that the flatpak has to contain F::Q and all
of its dependencies, so it gets what was current when it was built.
That aside, once a release is done, it’s done. We may repackage it—I did so for
flatpak a couple of days ago because the original Gnome Runtime was
obsolete—but GnuCash 5.13 is what it is. GnuCash 5.14 will be along in a little
over 8 weeks. In the meantime you can either go back to 5.12, install the
latest flatpak nightly build from https://code.gnucash.org/ or build GnuCash
stable from source. That latest flatpak nightly also has F::Q 1.67.
