Greg,

Not sure if you saw my previous post.

Double-clicking the Description column header may not produce the desired 
result. It will always adjust the column to allow all content to be visible. 
This might remove padding and shrink the column to remove the scrollbar as you 
describe, or it might expand it further if a description line is long. (thus 
making the content wider and the scroll bar even longer)

The only surefire method I know of to ‘balance’ the width of the window is to 
drag the right-hand column header divider of the Description column to the left 
and release it. It will snap to adjust the Description column so as to fit all 
columns in the visible window.

Regards,
Adrien
