[GNC] Colum headers missing on all accounts

[David H]

Home after a bus ride and now able to take a look.  Glenn is correct, that
is indeed where the preferences for GnuCash are in Win 10 Pro - it's in the
C:\Users\<user name>AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books folder and is called
whatever you saved your file as eg xxxxx.gnucash.gcm.  Deleting or
renaming the file in my case gives me a basic register view and I lose all
my settings for open register tabs, yada, yada, yada.  One of my register
segments looks like the following....

[Register 7175cf7f4c095fe37cd54271eb7bef36]
date_width=99
num_width=54
reconcile_width=25
balance_width=80
transfer_width=763
debit_width=80
credit_width=86

This is it after I shrunk the Reconcile file down to nothing...

[Register 7175cf7f4c095fe37cd54271eb7bef36]
date_width=99
num_width=54
*reconcile_width=1*
balance_width=80
transfer_width=763
debit_width=80
credit_width=86

So you should be looking for a column width = 1 NOT 0 !!!!

You should also notice the column that has been shrunk right down has a
slightly thicker dividing line - see below, the line between Transfer and
Deposit is thicker than the other separator lines.  It is possible to
carefully right click on the thicker line and drag it right to re-expand
the column...

Cheers David H.
