Tom & David, Well that was a senior moment! I leave a standard set of tabs open and of course they would preserve the setting if not closed. My bad, sorry.
Thank You, Gyle McCollam Gyle McCollam [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> email ________________________________ From: David Carlson <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2026 5:57 PM To: Tom Route36 <[email protected]> Cc: Gyle McCollam <[email protected]>; Gnucash Users <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [GNC] Tab View Gyle, Tom is right. The key is that the default view preferences are only applied when the register is opened. If you leave a register (or report) open when you close GnuCash, that window re-opens exactly as it was, except the cursor focus lands at the end.

I changed a view on one of my open tabs to Transaction Journal. and then after that I changed Register Defaults -> Default Style to Auto-Split Ledger. And that updated Default Style applies to everything. The only thing I had to do was to close the open tab and then reopen it. When that tab reopened the View was set to Auto-Split Ledger. Are you closing and then reopening the tab that you previously set to Transaction Journal?
