Appreciate that Adrien, I understand the reason to lock down Bugzilla and there was one response with an account created for me.
It's working again! And it looks like my problem was related to some kind of font cache issue. I had a completely different problem that ended up being solved by clearing ~/.cache/fontconfig mv ~/.cache/fontconfig ~/.cache/fontconfig_bad Which meant I had a copy of a corrupted fontconfig folder to swap in and out for some testing. After removing the folder, something re-populated my ~/.cache/fontconfig folder. Unclear if it was an update or running a program that relies on it. start: GnuCash reports are working mv ~/.cache/fontconfig ~/.cache/fontconfig_good cp -a ~/.cache/fontconfig_bad ~/.cache/fontconfig GnuCash reports fail (blank screen, webkitwebprocess eating 100% of cpu core, html export works) rm -r ~/.cache/fontconfig mv ~/.cache/fontconfig_good ~/.cache/fontconfig GnuCash reports are working again (without setting WEBKIT_DISABLE_DMABUF_RENDERER=1, or WEBKIT_DISABLE_COMPOSITING_MODE=1) Don't know what's in there that upsets it - but I've repeated this loop a few times and it reliably repeats my symptoms, and then restores them. GnuCash report display also works when my ~/.cache/fontconfig is absent. There's something in my fontconfig_bad copy that it doesn't like. webkit bug that seems related: https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=325185 chromium bug with similar symptoms (webkitwebprocess eats 100% cpu): https://issues.chromium.org/issues/565475896 The chatbot that pointed me towards those suggested it may have been an update to package google-chrome-stable - this package is one of four packages that were BOTH the list of updates that appeared to break it, and also in today's (updates happened before I noticed it was fixed). My google-chrome-stable package versions went 154.0.8037.92-1 > 154.0.8037.97-1 > 155.0.8059.39-1 On 06/10/2026 10:00, [email protected] wrote: > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Message: 1 > Date: Tue, 6 Oct 2026 09:48:53 -0500 > From: Adrien Monteleone > To: > [email protected] > Subject: Re: [GNC] Blank reports > Message-ID: > [<[email protected]>](mailto:[email protected]) > Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed > > Dana, the Bugzilla instance for GnuCash had to be restricted due to AI > scraper bots hammering it. > > If you post another new topic asking for an account, one of the devs > will create one for you tied to the e-mail address you are using here. > > Sorry I can't help more on the specific issue.
