To change the column widths, drag the right-separator-line in the header left or right. Do this for all other columns *except* the Description column. Do that one last. When you are ready to make the Description column 'fit', drag the right-separator-line to the LEFT a fair distance and then let it go. It will snap back to the right, but auto-sized to not produce scroll bars. (that is, Description will fill the balance of the horizontal space in the window)

I am sorry, but this is not working. Unfortunately, for me i have even lost ground.

In the description (green line for me---came that way) I can drag the bar in front of transfer, or even after transfer and it pops back.  it never stays where i drop. None of the areas stayed--they all popped back.  Further below i tried your double-click and now my transfer only shows "fer" of transfer.  the R column is still there, as is the decrease, but the increase column is now*GONE.*   It also moved everything even off the screen to the right, but it is back with the shortened descriptions.

I also want to thank you for the screen shot with blue.  I typed this in blue for you....grin


I've attached a screenshot showing the header and marking that right-separator line and even put an arrow pointing to it.

For all columns *except* the Description column, you can double-click their headers and they will auto-size to fit the content of any transaction in those columns. (similar to spreadsheet apps)

ALWAYS size the Description column last.

If you don't like the Description column filling the remainder of the space and being so wide, you have one option:

Size your overall window smaller horizontally and then re-size the Description column as described above. how would i go about this?  i am open to anything.
