To clarify further, after
File / Export / Export active register to CSV
you should get a dialogue *separate from the main GnuCash window* titled
"Choose Export Settings". What is happening to you is that you don't
see this dialogue and can't find it. Right?

Hmmm.
Let me make it as clear as I can.
The HTML file is fine and I can bring it into Open Office (but not well
rendered for use) and safari and even text edit which renders it as a full page
report similar to the starting point in GnuCash. However that is not my
problem.
Because Numbers (my preferred spreadsheet) does not import html direct, I need
to get it into Numbers via a csv file. I have described what happens on my
machine when I try to export the current register to csv and have searched high
and low on all desktops on both monitors including using the “show all windows”
function but the dialog box that I assume should show up is not there.
The best guess is it is hiding underneath the report tab itself as (as
previously mentioned) the edge of the window flickers when I try to export the
information. Do you need more information on my system to try to replicate it?
Should I do a screen capture video to try to show it?
Updating to the latest version has not cured the problem and I still cannot
export the current register as a csv file.

GnuCash's job with HTML export is to provide valid HTML, and if it has
done that, then the problem less with the import on the other end.
I think your next step would be to determine what aspect of the
GnuCash HTML causes the problem for you. Getting that info would
further clarify whether the problem is GnuCash's HTML, or
OpenOffice's import logic.
The validity of an HTML file can easily be checked at the World Wide Web
Consortium's site, specifically here:
<https://validator.w3.org/>
For those who would rather not upload the file in question, the
validator can be downloaded.
