[GNC] Invoice date field starts too narrow

[David Carlson]

David H, you have a good memory.  I found <
https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=796736> which shows the same
problem with the date.  However, the penultimate comment by John Ralls
states that when the size is manually set it should stick for subsequent
use.  I personally have found that it is necessary to also manually click
on the File > Save button to really make such changes stick.  If there has
been an auto save somewhere along the line so that it is impossible to do a
manual save, then it may be lost.  I thought I had filed a bug report for
that but now I cannot find it.
