Hi Paul,
You appear to be referring to the Gnucash Manual instead of the Concepts
Guide. Here's the relevant Note from The Basics section:
In the register windows, you can resize the various columns that GnuCash
displays, but keep in
mind that the Description and Balance columns behave differently from
other columns.
The Description column is designed to expand automatically to fill all
unused horizontal screen
space. Therefore you should set the widths of all your other columns
before setting the Description
column width.
The Balance column must be resized by double-clicking on the column heading
Regards,
Sherlock

I didn't see any column sizing stuff in there.
Chapter 4.3 seemed more relevant but I couldn't find anything there either.
David: Double-click enlarges the column which is good and shrinks the
Description
but still when I drag the vertical bar on the left of "Transfer" to the
left it snaps back to where it was.
When I drag the vertical bar on the right of "Transfer" it stays put,
but the
vertical bar on the left of "Transfer" snaps to the right also when it
shouldn't move.
Something is very weird about resizing.

What happens if you double click the title of any of the amount columns?

I can't get the ledger columns to resize properly. Works the same way
with both one and Double Line view.
The Description field is huge, and when I try to drag the left
side of
the Transfer column over to shrink the Desc, all the columns
Transfer and to
the right drag over to the left, but when I click to put them down,
they snap back to where they were. I can't shrink the Desc column.
And then several of the columns are too small
to see. If I drag the left side of Balance to the left, it gets
larger, but
then Withdrawal becomes too small to see.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
