David, Adrien referred to the Gnome Tweaks tool earlier. If you have it installed or it is by default with the gnome-desktop, it has an option in the Windows options to Attach Modal Dialogs to the parent Window. I don't know if this is your problem. It has no effect in the Cinnamon desktop in

My wife let me test release 4.4 on her windows 10 laptop tonight. The problem with the locked subwindow in the price database did not exist. Not sure about linux installs. I also could not duplicate the transparency issue with account selection, again I am not sure if it is the same in linux.

Maybe the transparency problem in the account picker field in regular registers is not related to sub window placement. It does seem strange that I don't recall seeing that transparency issue anywhere else. For sure I may not be using the definitive terminology as I am not a native Linux speaker.

David I just checked out GnuCash 4.4 on Linux MInt 20.3 and have no issues with the transparency of the account picker dialogue in OFX import or the Price Editor. The popup Windows appear as fully opaque on the above system. I don't remember having any problems with any of the GnuCash 3.x

I have not solved this problem with sub windows overlaying parent windows . One. In addition to the case where the account selection dropdown overlays the transaction list during an OFX import, that same account selection dropdown has partial transparency in a normal register window so it is

Thanks everyone! I now have a huge red area on my forehead where I slapped myself when I had the epiphany that I should use Super-Tab to circulate across workspaces and Alt-Tab to circulate within the current workspace. Now to figure out how to extricate the transaction window from under the

I was thinking of GnomeTweak tool. There might be a separate UbuntuTweak still. (I think there was one for Unity) Also, take a look here: https://askubuntu.com/questions/464946/force-alt-tab-to-switch-only-on-current-workspace-in-gnome-shell They are trying to achieve the opposite, but

I seem to recall that is a user preference in Ubuntu. Sorry I don't remember how or where to change it. Perhaps a 3rd party customizer that exposes extra gnome prefs might be the solution. (I can't for the life of me remember the proper app names, but they should be easy to find) Regards,

Sorry, in the last sentence of the message below I used the noun desktop where I meant to use the noun workspace, i.e. Alt-Tab circulates between windows only on the current workspace, not through all open windows on all workspaces. I want to revert to circulating around all windows in all
