Good enough?  Well I can live with it as is and use some such workaround. 
But I am willing to put in a little effort, recompiling the code with a fix,
if that can be done with reasonable effort.

Colin, I agree with you 100%.  I suspect the reason Notes are currently only
output on a separate line is gnucash was developed at a time when 1024 wide
displays were far more common place.  But ALL current columns are really
optional (except Description).  Their size can be reduced to 1 (or 0?) pixel
wide.  If a Notes field was added, those using 1024 displays could reduce
the Notes column to 1 pixel in width.  Heck I would not object if the
default was a Notes field 1 pixel wide.  Essentially no change for those who
do not want a Notes field, but those who did want it could expand the field
as needed.

Re: Notes column in SingleLine display

[Colin Law]

I think he/she wants both description and notes side by side in single
line mode.

@azalea4va before deciding that the feature does not need to be
optional, try it on a 1024 width display with the tabs down the side.

Just a wild guess, but try to "increase the border", see one day
before the actual problem and one after.

Well, if you read the manual you will find the answer to all your prayers,
or at ieast to all the "faults" that you have found so far with GnuCash.
Well, there is no way to replace the description with the notes other than
to put the text that you want to see in the Description field.  Isn't that
good enough?

Unrealized losses (or gains)

[Alain Dormoy]

Hello David.

I'm returning with the problem we discussed in April which  I have let sleep 
for a while.


I can't find the mail you kindly sent me on April 28,  so I can't quote it.

My problem is I had in the past "Unrealized losses" (and gains) which turn 
up on given dates and vanish on other.


You advised me to identify the dates and see what can have gone wrong then.

I found the dates. I ran a "Transaction report" for those two particumar 
dates.
Does nothing for me: The unrealized gain is huge (roughly my total icome for 
the year) but in the list of transactions on those two dates all that comes 
up is a few petty amounts, maximum 100 EUR (I have selected "all accounts" 
including hidden).


Ideas?
Many thanks in advance.
Alain

Notes column in SingleLine display

[azalea4va]

I am new to GnuCash.  What was MOST noticable within minutes of my first use
was the glaring inefficient use of screen space.  Perhaps 1/3 of a register
listing is just empty in an overly wide "Description" column.  I personally
prefer to have the Notes field visible in the SingleLine display instead of
having to use a DoubleLine display (halving the number of transactions that
can be listed).  While I would love to see that as an official program
change (those that like things as they are could reduce a SingleLine "note"
column to minimal size), I doubt that will happen.  I have downloaded the
soure code and am wondering if anyone can provide some guidance in two
areas.

1. Hopefully adding the Notes column is a fairly straight-forward change,
ideally just requring a change to a single function (and maybe calls to that
function).  Any idea how complex such a change would be?

2. There is alot of code,  where would I focus my search efforts in finding
the code that must be chnaged?

Thank you.
