I just did this intentionally as a test.

I had no problems re-expanding the columns.

But the key to remember is *drag right*. You only adjust a column using the right-hand header divider.

If you collapsed both the Debit (increase) column and the 'R' column (reconciliation status) then you'll see a thicker line in the header on each line. (Turn on View > Double Line to see the second line in the header)

Carefully hover to the right of that thick line till you get the left-right-arrow cursor and then click and drag right to expand.

In my test, this revealed the 'R' column first.

I then repeated this for the remaining thick divider and revealed the Debit/increase column.

Tip* - double click a header to auto-size that column to the contents.

If you end up with a horizontal scroll situation, click and drag the right-hand header divider of the Description column *far* to the left and let it go. It will auto-adjust and snap back to fill the difference.

Regards,
Adrien

So you have to keep using general journal view to deal with that account
till this is fixed, because I accidentally shrunk a column?

:(

A temporary work-around would be to open the General Journal then search
for Account Matches Any Account then select that account in the drop down
list.  I am not sure about a better solution that is reliable for all
displays

This question or some variation comes up often enough that it might be a
good idea to have a button somewhere to reset that register view to the
default column widths.  What do others think?
