[GNC] column width help

[R Losey]

I don't think people read your post carefully. It is the RIGHT side of a
column that changes that column. I have often accidentally done what you've
done - all you need to do is to double-click the border on the RIGHT side
of the column you want to adjust, and it wall auto-resize properly.

Please note that there are two exceptions to this: 1) The final column
"Balance" allows you to double-click the header, and it auto-adjusts, and
2) The "Description" column, when double-clicked resizes itself so that all
columns are visible (assuming the GnuCash window is large enough).

So, what you want to do is to double-click on the right-hand header
"Num/Action" column. (Note: You may need to then right-click on the
Description column to have it auto-adjust after you've fixed the Num/Action
column.)
