Description Sébastien Villemot 2011-12-10 20:14:53 UTC 
This is Debian bug http://bugs.debian.org/561791

If GnuCash is run with the environment variable GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS=1, accounts which contain a large number of transactions are not rendered correctly: only the beginning of the account is rendered as expected, but below a certain line the display is not refreshed.

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.

A simple workaround could be to unset GDK_NATIVE_WINDOWS when GnuCash is run.

As said in the Debian bug report, this is actually a limit on the number of graphic lines (in pixels). I got the following warnings in "/tmp/gnucash.trace":

* 14:48:20  WARN <Gdk> Native Windows wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported
* 14:48:20  WARN <Gdk> Native children wider or taller than 65535 pixels are not supported

Reassign version to 2.4.x so that individual 2.4 versions can be retired.
