[GNC] Column widths-- Help!

[Chris Grinton]

I've been able to get the transfer column back from having it very narrow
like you're seeing by hovering the mouse over the border in the column
headings and double-clicking to auto-size the transfer column - see the
attached screenshot. Whether or not this works appears to depend on very
precise mouse movements - a movement of the mouse cursor one pixel to the
left or right can mean all the difference in whether the double-click works.

(BTW - Double-clicking on a column heading is a great way to auto-size the
column based on its contents - I just learnt that trick recently after many
years of using GnuCash!)
