[GNC] How to fix zero-length register column?

[Adrien Monteleone]

I could be mistaken, but I'm fairly certain you don't have to 'stumble' 
on that 'trick' or any other as it is a designed feature. It should be 
documented in Help or the Guide. There is a section devoted to resizing 
columns.

There was some work done on setting widths for all 'similar' registers, 
but I think it was reverted due to bugs. I think it is still currently 
available for Bills/Invoices, however. (by 'similar' registers, I mean 
by main GnuCash type, thus, you could set all 'asset' registers with 
certain particular column widths, and those widths could be different 
for 'liability', 'equity', 'income' or 'expense' registers)

Regards,
Adrien
