[GNC] column widths - balance

[David T.]

Well, look at that! It does work now. I’m pretty sure that’s a change. I will note that it is still quite picky, getting the correct cursor without hitting the scroll bar. And, as you note, moving to the right from the far right can be counterintuitive or even impossible. I think I’ll stick with double clicking the header.

Cheers,
David

If the GnuCash window is on the right edge of the monitor, as is the case in fullscreen mode, then there's nowhere for the pointer to go and one won't be able to expand the balance column.
