Re: [GNC] Column widths-- Help!
Another option is to adjust directly in the settings: %USERPROFILE%\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books\ Stephen in your case just look for and increase the "transfer_width=" in the register in the settings above. Just make it something like 100 and then you can readjust by mouse.

Re: [GNC] Column widths-- Help!
A user should be able to adjust each column's width by dragging its right side (except description column). Sometimes the result is the total width of all columns becomes wider than the window or dialog they appear in. (When this happens, look for a horizontal scroll bar to appear at the bottom of all columns) This can make things appear as if columns are disappearing or suddenly becoming too narrow. Usually, just double click the description column header and its width will adjust to allow all of the columns to be seen in one window's width (as long as there's enough room). That is to say, manually adjust or auto adjust all columns' widths but description, as necessary, then auto adjust description column width last.

Re: [GNC] Column widths-- Help!
Steve, I had a similar problem in a reconciliation window. It turned out that there was some bad data in the description column, namely a lot of spaces and what looked like the enter key symbol at the very end. If this just happened recently, I would suggest you check each of the description entries by using your mouse and clicking in the middle of the text. Then hit the end key, which should take you to the end of the text. I have the feeling that on one line it will take you way to the right, past where the text actually ends. That line is most likely so long and that is why double clicking does solve your problem. You could left click the left click the right side of the description column, if you can distinguish it from the right side of the transfer column, and drag it to the left manually making the description column narrower.

Re: [GNC] Column widths-- Help!
I've been able to get the transfer column back from having it very narrow like you're seeing by hovering the mouse over the border in the column headings and double-clicking to auto-size the transfer column - see the attached screenshot. Whether or not this works appears to depend on very precise mouse movements - a movement of the mouse cursor one pixel to the left or right can mean all the difference in whether the double-click works. (BTW - Double-clicking on a column heading is a great way to auto-size the column based on its contents - I just learnt that trick recently after many years of using GnuCash!)
