HOWEVER, I encountered obstacles... The first was the colors of the mortgage/loan repayment window made it nearly(?) unusable (primarily the left "step"-side). It was just solid white at the start. When I clicked next, then the next step was highlighted enough to know what step I was on. When I got to the bugged step from the previous bug, it was showing correctly now (instead of looking something like " :: :" (or whatever it was)). But instead of going through with it all the way (to see if it seg-faults), I wanted to get the colors right first (using Breeze in Arch). I looked in my gtk-3.0.css that I edited from the last update that messed up my colors, but didn't see anything standing out for that "step"-side part of repayment. I tried editing some things, but no changes affected that part. THAT is when I gave "GTK_DEBUG=interactive" a try, thinking it would tell me what css styles I need to change. And that is what caused the above crash. Apparently a crash so bad, that it is unable to complete the coredump (I am not the one aborting it).
You're misreading it. It's not an aborted core dump, the program aborted due to an assertion failure in Gdk and dumped core--except that it probably didn't because that's generally disabled by default. We'll need to know where the offending gdk_window_get_display() call came from to diagnose the problem further, so please use the debugger to get a stack trace of the crash, instructions at https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Stack_Trace.
Yes, you are mostly correct (at least about me misreading). But the crash IS in the middle of getting dumped. I am able to see it happening using "iotop" (ran it to see why my system was getting bogged down), as well as the journal finally registering: ***** systemd[1]: systemd-coredump@1-208778-0.service: Service reached runtime time limit. Stopping. ***** The stack trace link looks a bit out of date for enabling debug, but I did see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Gnucash_Build_Options, though I also had to install gtest and gmock.

> Service reached runtime time limit. Stopping. That would be either a bug or a configuration problem with systemd. Thanks for noticing about the debug flag, it was for the old build system. I've updated it. Since you can build yourself, how about trying a fix? At gnucash/gnome-utils/cursors.c line 53, change gdk_display_get_default() to gdk_window_get_display(win). Rebuild and see if it still crashes or at least crashes somewhere else.
Yup, that fixed that issue. Using the GTK inspector: ***** $ gsettings set org.gtk.Settings.Debug enable-inspector-keybinding true $ GTK_DEBUG=interactive gnucash ***** Then opening the loan/mortgage payment scheduler and pressing CTRL+SHIFT+I and pressing in that side area, I found the CSS field and added the value: ***** .sidebar { background-color: black; } ***** Then I went through the scheduler and that succeeded (sort of). I'll update the other bug. I'll leave it to you to close this issue after that fix of yours is applied.
Done, thanks for the report.
