[GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

[David Carlson]

When I asked about date format I was mainly fishing for more details about
when and how this happens.  I too have changing widths but I see that
mostly when I copy the GCM stuff from one machine to another with a
different display size, so I write it off to that, where it would be
expected.
