Select from the menu Business | Billing Terms Editor. The Terms window will open. Click on New and the New Billing Term window will open.

Thanks.

GnuCash hasn't actually crashed.

The "New Billing Term" window is hiding behind the "Terms" window. Move the "Terms" window out of the way and you should be able to continue.

Ok, maybe this should cosmetic bug.New Billing term screen should in front of Term Window not behind so that nice looking.

This may be a gtk/theme issue, I've seen many child dialog windows being pushed to background despite their parent being set properly.

Comment 4 Bob 2020-05-08 09:24:22 EDT

This was due to the cascading of GtkDialogs on Windows Microsoft OS's. Changed the Bill Terms dialogue to a GtkWindow and then the 'New Billing Term' dialogue has the window as parent.

This is pushed to master so will be in version 4.0
