It works for me.

I grab the right side of the deposit column, click and drag it to the
right.  This makes the deposit column larger and a scrollbar appears. 
Then I grab the right of the description column and click/drag it left to
make the description column smaller.

Lather, rinse, repeat with different columns.

You need to grab the description column from the RIGHT (between the desc
and transfer) to make the desc column smaller.  grabbing from the left
wont do anything useful.

Try again.
