[GNC] Register columns: The balance column is no longer visible

[Geoff]

John, you said earlier that you are using Windows 10, so here is a tip 
to help restore your balance column:

 From the Windows "start button" (not Gnucash):
Settings / System / Display / Scale and layout / 200%

This will make every window (including Gnucash) twice as big, and thus 
it will be easier to use your mouse to manipulate the Gnucash column widths.

Then, to restore your Balance column, (or any other column) you need to:
1. Hover over its right hand border (scroll the window to the far right 
if necessary)
2. Wait for the double headed arrow to appear
3. Double click.

Be patient - it may take a few attempts until you get the knack.

Please see attached screenshots.

I hope this restores your balance ;--)

Geoff
