retitle 561791 Large accounts not rendered entirely with GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1
severity 561791 normal
thanks

I was able to reproduce the problem when the following two conditions
are met:

 * GnuCash is ran with GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1

 * the account opened is large: on my machine the threshold seems to be
   around 1700 transactions in basic ledger and single line modes, but I
   guess this depends on the size of the font used. The problem occurs
   with a smaller number of transaction in double line mode or in
   transaction journal mode.

There is a simple workaround for displaying the last transactions in the
account: go to "Edit->Preferences->Register Defaults->Number of
Transactions" and set a limit to the number of transactions that are
displayed.

I’m lowering the severity to normal since setting GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS is
not the normal way of running GDK. This option is more a
backward-compatibility mode for applications that are not compatible
with some changes introduced in GTK+ 2.18 (and GnuCash is not one of
these). See:
