Problem sizing the Balance column

[Colin Scott]

It's all horribly non-intuitive. .  The authors of Gnucash seem to have
this bizarre idea that they *have* to fill the screen, and what with that
and the even more bizarre way their column sizing works it's actually
very easy to lose data off the edge of the screen, and then quite tricky
to get it back again!

By contrast, look at the way Excel or Access work - you change the size
of any column, and all the columns to the right of it just move.  If that
means you lose data off to the right, that's fine.  If you end up with a
lot of blank space to the right of the final column, that's also fine -
it just works the way one exptects.  It's one of the rare things that
Microsoft got properly right:  it's simple to understand, simple to
implement, and seems to me the only sensible way of making this stuff
work ...
