I think the Description column is designed to grow or shrink as you
change the size of the window. My technique when viewing a new register
is this:

1. If any of the columns are too narrow and truncating values, I
double-click on the column's title. This auto-sizes the column to fit.

2. Grab the vertical bar on the right side of the Description (the mouse
icon turns into a double-ended arrow) and drag left until all columns
are visible. When you let go, the column will grow to eliminate any
blank space to the right of the rightmost column.
