yeah, the right side of the window flings out to the right and
disappears. This is due to the register window getting larger. I
found that kinda odd. What should have happened? The one column that
I resized should have resized down and the window size should have
stayed the same, and the srollbar should have consumed more of the
bottom of the register window, but I do not think that the register
window should have gotten larger overall to accomodate the column
widths.
Does this mean that I think the register window should only shrink and
not grow according to resizing the columns? I think so, yes.
