[GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

[D]

Axel, 

Just to confirm that you're not going crazy, I've seen the same behavior on the date field for a long time. As you describe, the date field width is optimized for display without the drop down triangle; the triangle causes erroneous display as you describe. I seem to fecal that the register does not remember your setting from session to session, but I could be misremembering.  My only fix has been to manually adjust the date column width.

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the suggestion.  Double-clicking on the date header collapses the column even further, so that the entire day part of the date (I use format day.month.year) on the bottom line disappears off the left side of the screen.

:-(
