[GNC] register column sizes

[James Gill]

I am using Mint 19.1 and GnuCash 2.6.19.
I could not get the columns to reappear by opening from the Accounts List or from an account with a transfer. 

I finally found that I could open the hidden columns by putting the cursor on a dividing column rule in the row with column names (creating a double arrow) and not dragging but double clicking. Two of the column rules were heavier (a 3 or 2 pt rule instead of a 1 pt rule) which indicated to me a hidden column. I then double clicked all the columns, description column last.
Voila!
Thank you all for your help.

 Typically, double click on the header of each column except the description
column first, then do the description column.
