[GNC] Anomalous behaviour of a Bank Account Register

[Gyle McCollam]

Sorry to hear that, but it does take a pretty steady hand.  Hopefully, your daughter will be able to get it for you.  Good Luck!


Thank You,

Thanks Gyle, I'll ask one of my daughters to try this. My hands are not sufficiently steady.
Regards

Did you approach the line from the left, because that is the only way to expand the column by dragging?  If you did and the Deposit or Debit column expanded you went too far before clicking and dragging. Another thing you can try but, it is less likely to be successful, is when you get the double-sided arrow is to double-click the column.  If you are between the 2 lines, actually in the Transfer column it will expand to optimal width.  This is harder to do than dragging to the left when you first get the double arrow, but it works as I tested this.  I will say that  when this happened to me, I had a very hard time clicking and dragging and the exact point I needed to, but I eventually got it and now it is not as hard to do.

Gyle, I think you are right, but I just cannot get your remedy to work.

Based on the screen shot, it looks like the Transfer account has a zero or almost zero width.  I say this because the vertical dividing line between the description account column and the reconciliation account column seem thicker and darker than the other dividing lines.  To test this start at the top of the description column close to the Reconciliation column and move your mouse slowly to the left.  When the cursor changes to a double headed left/right arrow stop.  Then click and drag to the left and see if your transfer column appears.  Since the thicker line may mean the transfer column is reduced you have to be careful that you have selected the left side of the transfer column and not the left side of the reconcile column.  That is why you have to stop immediately when the mouse indicator switches to the double-sided arrows.  Once you can see the transfer column, you can double click in the header to get the optimum size.  That will shift the columns to the right off the page, but you can then double click the decription column to shrink it so the other columns fit on the page.

Subject: [GNC] Anomalous behaviour of a Bank Account Register

Hello,
I am using Gnucash 5.3 on Windows 11.
I noticed today that the balances on this account were not arithmetically
correct so I ran Check and Repair on all transactions in this account,
which then agreed with my actual bank balance.
I then noticed that this account does not show the Transfer column, but
does have an additional column to the right of Balnce, headed Rate.
Screenshot attached.
I can find no way to remedy this so that it looks like my other Bank
registers.
Can you help please?
Peter
