Edwin — do not be discouraged regarding this issue. There has been threads ad nauseam regarding how to get the columns to be the right length that you want.
To me, it is overly cumbersome and not really straight forward. Luckily, I have them the way I want - and I have left them alone ever since. But it would be REALLY NICE if they were more like Excel or Libre Office Calc or other spreadsheets and could be set independently without effecting the other columns. Alas, it seems that this is not really possible - so hopefully you can get them close to what you want — and then leave them alone!

That seems to work. Now I wish I could get the Description column to be a little narrower and the Transfer column a little wider. But I can’t seem to get that to work for me.
