[GNC] UI Problem with 4.14

The Description column always fills the remaining width of the window.

You adjust the other columns to your liking, then reduce the window 
width to shrink the Description column. Otherwise, you can after setting 
the other columns, drag the right handle of the Description column to 
the left and let it bounce back to fill the remaining space.

If you still find Description longer than you want, and you don't want 
to narrow the width of the window, adjust the other columns accordingly. 
I usually adjust the Account column wider in such cases.

This is nothing new in 4.14, GnuCash has worked this way for many many 
years.

Regards,
Adrien
