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.

I have a UI problem (failure?) running GNC 4.14 under Ubuntu 22.04. I tried to shrink the Description column (make it narrower) in the general ledger display of an account, but Description column only wants to get wider. Draging the right edge to the left just "bounces" further to the right, causing the columns to the right of the Description column to shrink. How do I fix this? I tried exiting and restarting, but the column widths seem to be "remembered" somewhere (where?).
