Main pane is a transparent background.
I just installed RedNotebook via the PPA. Version 2.14. I am on Ubuntu 18.04LTS. When I open the program, the sidebar displays but the main pane is a frozen snapshot of whatever window was behind it. I fixed this in a different program (Bluefish) by adjusting the background and font to be white rather than its apparent default, which was transparent. Is there any way to do that here?
I am able to type, so it's not frozen per se, but it's unusable as whatever garbage was behind is still visible instead of it being on a white "fresh" page.
I have opened RedNotebook both via the toolbar and in a shell and both exhibit this same behavior. Is this a setting on my side I can control somehow? Any help would be great. Thank you.

That sounds like your GTK installation is messed up. I'd look for a solution to this problem before looking at hacks to fix it.
There's no way to set the background from within RedNotebook.

Okay, thank you. I'll try to find a solution that way.

I am guessing this is another clue indicating it's not a RedNotebook issue, but still very frustrating: it seems that it works as expected when I begin the program from a shell in my VNC session. Yet when I'm starting (with or without a shell) in my local session, the transparency issue happens.
Does anyone know which forum would be best to post to get help with this? Again, thank you for your help.

Grrrr. Spoke too soon. The issue still happens, only with a white and not transparent background when I run in VNC.
