James,

Keep in mind that in the register view the description column is a special case that essentially defaults to use all the space that is not explicitly given to other columns.

This means setting the other widths first, then dragging the right edge of the description column title box leftward and letting it snap back until there is no horizontal scrollbar at the bottom.

Of course, this can get awkward for users that run the program on computers with different display and font settings.  Since those settings are defined as user settings, different computers normally each keep their own settings, but if one accesses the program remotely via ssh, for example, it can still get very interesting.

    Hi Guys,

    I'm having a problem figuring out how to move the vertical lines
    defining columns on registers.   I seem to remember that you place a
    mouse cursor on the vertical line, hold down the right mouse
    button, and
    move left or right to change the width of of the columns. When I do
    that, the vertical line moves with my mouse. When I let go of the
    right
    button the line zips back.

    I'm using 3.2 Gnucash on a Windows 7 HP desktop.  What am I doing
    wrong?  BTW, I have read the Help Manual until I'm blue in the
    face and
    can't find it.

    Thank you

    James Fuller
