I don't see it as flame, just making clear that if indeed the HTML is 'fine' and the issue is that OOo or Numbers won't open it, that isn't necessarily a GnuCash problem, especially if a browser can display it properly. (see my other reply for the proper way to open HTML in a spreadsheet with OOo/LO)

Have you tried right-clicking the GnuCash icon in the Dock and choosing 'show all windows'?

That *should* do an Exposé spread of all GnuCash windows and dialogs. Admittedly, it does not always work.(an issue with the display server if I'm not mistaken)

Alt+Tab might be worth a try as well. Double-check your Keyboard Shortcut settings in System Preferences for that key combo to see if it cycles through just apps, or all open windows. (you want all open windows in this case)

Since you *do* have a second monitor, my guess is it is opening on it but is somehow hiding off to the side in NeverLand.

If all else fails, perhaps open the .gcm file for that book with a text editor, see if you can find the window placement and geometry for that or any dialogs and edit with some trial and error. Or, back it up, rename its extension and re-launch GnuCash which should reset all of your window placements and sizes. (along with the open tab list and such, but at least you'll solve this issue.)

Regards,
Adrien

Hi David,

Thanks for your response but please don’t flame me for trying to bring an issue 
to other people’s attention.  I know how to copy and paste and have done the 
analysis I wanted to do through that route but the issue is the software is not 
working for me (and possibly others) which is why I am raising it.

I have no phantom monitors, I have a second monitor and I have searched all 
over my system and cannot ssee a dialog box.  I have just updated to 5.17 and 
the problem is identical.
