Setting Column Width

[Steve Juniper]

  Thank you. I can understand the necessity of having one or more 
columns expanding when going to full screen but when it seems that all 
the columns should remain visible, whether the same width or wider or 
more narrow. Whether I went to full or partial screen the 'balance' 
column was invisible off to the right. Adjusting the other columns to 
its left just squeezed each other without pulling 'balance' in. I could 
not see that column no matter what I did.

For whatever reason when I reopened GC after closing it the missing 
column appeared. Everything seems OK although I am wary about trying to 
adjust anything...
