Text field alignments

[Fred Bone]

When viewing a register in "Basic Ledger" view, the "other-account" names 
in the "Transfer" column are right-justified. So if the complete account 
name is too long to fit, the high-end ("Assets", for example) is cut.

However, in a "Split" view, the corresponding text in each split is left-
justified - except when that part of that split is selected. This means 
that, for example, I see
 "Assets:Current Assets:Savings Accounts:"
and have to select the entry to see *which* savings account it is.

Is there any particular reason for this behaviour?
