I've been experiencing a weird problem when using Gnucash after upgrading my laptop to Kubuntu 14.04 (32 bit).
The problem is that I can enter text in the text entry boxes in the main Gnucash window, but when I press the backspace key on my keyboard, the characters do not delete. However, if I then resize the Gnucash window size, the screen refreshes to show the correct number of characters deleted.
This therefore seems to be a problem with the window not being properly refreshed when the backspace key is pressed (even though adding text by typing alphanumeric keys works fine).
I am also running Kubuntu 14.04 (64 bit) on a desktop, and do not experience the same problem there.
I have not experienced this problem in any other application, either Gnome or KDE based, although I've not done an exhaustive test.
I'm guessing it is something to do with the display driver and/or Gnome/GTK config, but I don't know what, and I don't really have any good ideas of how to debug this. I'm not using a proprietary display driver, just the standard Xorg driver. I have tried deleting all my GTK related dot files/dirs in case there were conflicting contents from the previous version of Kubuntu, but no joy.
Has anyone else experienced this with Gnucash (or any other Gnome app?). Any ideas of what might be going wrong, or how I could approach identifying the problem?
Thanks!
