Jerry, I don't use Linux Mint, but I'll try to help. Maybe somebody else
that is familiar with Mint can chime in.
If you launch Gnucash by clicking an icon or from the start menu, you
should be able to edit that icon or menu item by right clicking on it,
select edit or properties, and modify
the command to start Gnucash to the one that works for you
( WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 flatpak run org.gnucash.GnuCash ).
There may be several tabs on the dialog box you get when you right click
and select edit, so look and find the one with the command to start
Gnucash and try to modify it to the other command.
Hope this is useful but since I've never used Mint it's a shot in the
dark. Good luck.

Sorry, but I have to introduce a little humor here.
You don't know it, but you just asked an 86 yr old man what he did 10
weeks ago. I think that answers the question about how GC got installed.
I did try the flatpak version and I was able to get a transaction
register. Charlie will explain to me how to set a permanent
variable. (the 86 yr old thing again)
Thank you for your help.

Sorry. But, as usual, the suggested doesn't work. First I tried sudo
WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1 gnucash . It returned: sudo:
gnucash:

Jerry,
is GC installed using flatpack or natively from the Mint software
package
manager ?
My guess is that the probably way you would have GC 5.14 is via
flatpack.
Did you try the other command that Charlie gave you? (and you don't
need
sudo)

cheers,
Maf.
