Persistent 'double line' setting in accounts receivable/payable
When in the Account Receivable/Payable window I had to click View > Double line every time to collapse the register. Suggest to make this setting persistent

I have the same problem in GnuCash 2.4.0 (on Win7 then Win10).
I have several client accounts under Accounts Receivable, and that's been my sole use of GnuCash. Whenever I open one of these client accounts, it starts up in Double Line mode, which is irritating as there's nothing in the 2nd line I need - I want a setting to "stick" so that these views default to single line view!
Note that this is not a view of the base Accounts Receivable account, but "child" client accounts nested within. I don't need a 2nd line as all entries are either new invoices with amount under "Invoice", or payments with amount under "Payments". This is Basic Ledger view, where the 2nd line is entirely blank and a dead waste of UI space (the human productivity equivalent of RAM deliberately kept unused).

Thank you for your suggestion. However the fact you are asking this suggests you are most likely not using the Account Receivable/Payable accounts as intended.
These types of accounts are used internally by the business features of gnucash and should only rarely be consulted directly. And in that case it is usually important to know at a glance which transactions are part of an invoice, a payment or none at all. This information is only visible if the account is in double line mode.
So can you explain what you are doing in the AR/AP accounts that you prefer it to display in single line mode ?
