[GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

[Greg Feneis]

Axel,

When you double clicked the date column header, did you follow that with a
double click of the description column header?

If the date column is fully in view, but too narrow to display all of the
characters in the fields, double clicking its column header might have
widened the column, and simultaneously widened the window that holds all of
the columns (horizontal scroll bar at the bottom of all the columns
appears), causing the left edge of the date column to shift left.  This
might have given the appearance of the column collapsing, but it really
expanded while moving out of view.     You would have to follow that with
scrolling all columns to view the entire date column, or double click the
description column to normalize the columns' window's width.

You might consider double clicking the column header for description
column, but only after you have double clicked the column header for any of
the other columns.


Kind regards, Greg Feneis
