What version and what OS?
I just tried to resize and it worked as expected.
Perhaps drag the right-hand header border for the description towards the left and let it go. It will snap into place taking up the remaining space. This will ?reset? the Description column. Then try dragging the right-hand header border for the account again.
Note, if you are in Double Line mode, you need to drag the border on the second line, not the top one as that will instead expand the Reconcile column which really doesn?t need to be wider than 1 character.

Adrien

My font got to large and had same trouble. My fonts in Linux Mint were to small at 10 and I went to 20 and had trouble. 15 seems to work

Michael?s answer is what you are looking for with regard to the individual funds.
As for the QDF issue there are a few options:
A) Find someone who has Intuit software that would do a backup-restore and QIF export for you.
B) Use a VM with trial software
On that option-B:
You can get trial versions of Quicken/Quickbooks online and you might even find an older disc somewhere. (Someone you know might even have one) Just be sure the version you are using is at least as new as the version the backup was made with.
You then only need a Windows version that will run that Intuit version, it doesn?t necessarily have to be Windows10. But if that is the case, you can still download Win10 ISOs for free from Microsoft. (a simple web search will turn up the direct link) Family, friends or associates also might have the needed Win-whatever install disc laying around.
Then follow these steps:
1) Install VirtualBox (also free)
2) Install the relevant version of Windows in VirtualBox, but don?t worry about activation as you won?t need it that long. (be sure to do this once you have the Intuit software in hand, Windows will complain if you don?t activate within 30 days)
3) Install Quicken/Quickbooks trial version or full version as a trial, according to what you were able to find.
4) Restore the backup
5) Read this wiki page: https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Quicken_Migration
5) Export to QIF according to the recommendations in the wiki
6) Import to GnuCash and make sure all is well
7) Nuke the VM unless you find another use for it, accepting you?ll have to deal with the Windows license issue later.

I forgot to mention, you didn?t say what OS you were on, but apparently it isn?t Win10.
If it is Linux or Mac, (you might find a relevant version of Intuit software for Mac) you might be able to run the Intuit version you need via Wine. Mileage varies and there has been some success. Be sure to check out winehq.org and their app database for possible issues. A cursory glance looks like older versions (pre-2005) should work, but newer release will be a tougher nut to crack. The VM route might be saner.
You can also remove Wine when you?re done.

Check on bugs.gnucash.org to see if it has been reported yet. You might have to get creative with your search phrasing as you never know how someone will word a bug. (or just browse them by section) A cursory glance doesn?t show anything related so far. There is a bug for invoice windows, but that *might* not affect registers if it isn?t the same code being used. It would be better to file a separate bug.
You?ll need to create an account there to file the bug.
Please, look for one well, but if you do happen to file a duplicate, it will be marked as such and closed, pointing to the earlier report.

Adrien

I'm trying to start a new file for the new year and don't see a simple way
to make the change either in the user's manual or the FAQs. Do I have to
create a new file or can I simply save entries after 1/1/2020 to a new
destination and rename it? If the answer is in the manual, just point me to
the correct chapter; if not, let me know the simplest way to carry over my
current list of accounts and start a new and separate file or folder. I'm
sure I'm missing something and could sure use your help.
Thank you in advance,

Jack,
There are many bugs open that long or longer. The developers are limited
with the amount of time that they can donate to this fine program, so wish
lists and minor annoyances tend to languish.
They would love help from more volunteers.

Do you *need* to start a new file each year?
While GnuCash has a ?close the books? procedure, it is not necessary to use it as that is a holdover from the days of pen and paper where physical limitations of bound volumes required doing so for organization purposes. (maybe some minor security purposes as well) Computers can keep everything in one file and you simply run reports for the time periods you need.
If you want to proceed anyway, there are various methods and workflows, but that really depends on your reason for doing so in order to determine which will be most useful to you.
Yes, you can simply ?save as? a new file and the old one will not contain newer entries. This is the easiest and simplest way to retain your account tree and current balance info across all of your accounts and any book-specific preferences.
Some people burn the old file onto a read-only disc for archival purposes along with PDF copies of year-end reports, though they can be regenerated by opening the file.
You can also just keep the file going and run the ?close books? procedure. This will close out your income and expense categories to Equity:Retained Earnings. Again, this is not necessary, but some people who?ve been doing accounting for decades are more comfortable maintaining the habit. There is no real benefit, and you will lose the ability to run reports across period boundaries or even for prior periods depending on the date of your closing entries. (yearly for most people)
You can do either of the above, and start with a fresh file every year, recreating your chart of accounts, adding in opening balances from last period?s ending balances, etc. Note, if you use the Business Features, you?ll need to export-import all of your customers, vendors and employees, and you?ll have to figure out a way to handle carryover AP/AR as there is no built-in mechanism for doing so. You?d lose all invoice/bill aging data.
If you are tracking investments, especially if you have many of them, I?d highly recommend to just stick with the current file. Other?s may report decent mileage, but I?d think trying to move ending balances over to a new file and then losing historical price information for still-held securities would be a nightmare.

Adrien

I am unable to widen the right column where the accounts are listed for
each transaction. Every time I try it just gets smaller and the full
descriptions of the accounts get shorter and shorter.
Anyone else having this issue?

What version and what OS?
I just tried to resize and it worked as expected.
Perhaps drag the right-hand header border for the description towards the left and let it go. It will snap into place taking up the remaining space. This will ?reset? the Description column. Then try dragging the right-hand header border for the account again.
Note, if you are in Double Line mode, you need to drag the border on the second line, not the top one as that will instead expand the Reconcile column which really doesn?t need to be wider than 1 character.
Regards,
Adrien
