[GNC] Accidentally hid two columns - can't get them back

[Adrien Monteleone]

I just did this intentionally as a test.

I had no problems re-expanding the columns.

But the key to remember is *drag right*. You only adjust a column using 
the right-hand header divider.

If you collapsed both the Debit (increase) column and the 'R' column 
(reconciliation status) then you'll see a thicker line in the header on 
each line. (Turn on View > Double Line to see the second line in the header)

Carefully hover to the right of that thick line till you get the 
left-right-arrow cursor and then click and drag right to expand.

In my test, this revealed the 'R' column first.

I then repeated this for the remaining thick divider and revealed the 
Debit/increase column.

Tip* - double click a header to auto-size that column to the contents.

If you end up with a horizontal scroll situation, click and drag the 
right-hand header divider of the Description column *far* to the left 
and let it go. It will auto-adjust and snap back to fill the difference.

Regards,
Adrien
