Stephen,
There's really nothing special about this account.  All my many other accounts (with similar properties and under the same parent account) are all okay.  It's just this one specific account with the problem.

But anyway, here's the specifics:
=====
Account name: Bay View CD
Account code: <blank>
Description: Tom's Bay View CD
Parent account: Banking  <FYI, no other sub-accounts have this problem>
Account type: Bank
Security/currency: USD (US Dollar)
Smallest fraction: Use Commodity Value
Account color: <blank>
Notes: <blank>
Placeholder: <unchecked>
Hidden: <checked>
Auto interest transfer: <unchecked>
Tax related: <unchecked>
Opening balance: <unchecked>
Higher Balance Limit: <blank>
Lower Balance Limit: <blank>
Include sub accounts: <unchecked>
Current balance of the account: $0.00
=====

Also FYI, I tried moving this account to a different parent account.  Same problem.  I also tried making this account a top-level account.  Same problem.  I tried renaming the account. Same problem.  I tried unchecking the Hidden option, and then re-checking it.  Same problem.

I've never run into anything like this before with GnuCash; and I'm just wondering if anyone else has come across anything similar.

Tom

Is it a top-level account?

Please be a little more specific?  Maybe it has special characters?

For the most part I can hide and unhide accounts in GnuCash without any problem.  But today I ran into an issue where there's one particular account of mine that seems to be permanently unhidden. In the Edit Account options window for that account I can check and uncheck the Hidden checkbox just fine.  But for this one particular account GnuCash seems to ignore the Hidden setting. This one account stays persistently unhidden regardless of the Hidden checkbox setting.

Has anyone else run into a situation like this?  Any idea how to fix the problem?  Note: I do NOT want to try deleting this account.
