[GNC] How do I add notes to my columns?

[David Carlson]

azalea4va,

Why would you want to impose an ultra-wide layout onto most users that find
it very difficult to see the information even in the double line mode on
their monitors?  You have not even provided an illustration of what it
would look like and asked for an opinion from other users.  How would it
look to a user that is still using an 800x600 screen?  If you were to ask
me about this I would suggest a three line view to see a long description,
long note and long account name for every transaction, not just the one
that has the focus, but make it optional, because the current layout is a
compromise that works fairly well for the majority of users.
