There isn't a value for the description field. You can set the others as
you found out. The description width is basically what is left over from
the width of the other columns you set.

text editor, to make all the non description fields the same. save the file.I
start the tool. If I change anything, window size, or field size of some tab,
any tab, the file is overwritten by the tool. vim notifies

The register width on Windows are in:
C:\Users\#\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash\books
Just find your "book" which will be in the format MyBook.gcm
You can change the numbers for date_width, num_width, etc. You actually
change everything *but* the description field, which takes up the rest of
the
i have scanned the directories mentioned for entries with 'description' and
'width'. I can find nothing that is specific to the 'Description' field in the
support files that exist.
again this is a windows install.
do know what file, in what directory, with what content, you modified?

Thanks for the input.I have just started using gnucash, on a windows box, so
all of the inputs are from CSV files. I checked the csv file for the account
that I am using as a guinea pig and there are no description fields that extra
characters. The longest line in the file is 80 characters.
Hi,
If you want to hardcode the widths of columns, you can do that in user
data. I wanted my books and accounts to all be exactly the same so I did it
this way.
Depending on your OS, the user data locations are described here:

I have found how to make the fonts large enough to read through inspection of
the mailing list history.
The "descritption" field will auto-enlarge to fill the window space. Reduce
the
width of your GC window, and then double-click the description header?
HTH,
Maf.

I have found how to make the fonts large enough to read through inspection of
the mailing list history. it is now 14pt.
This is great but now the gnucash window has to be almost, 80% of my screen
width. 70% of that width is due to the width of the description field.
