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.

[image: PXL_20211002_170211297.jpg] Long time user of GnuCash on Windows laptop, using latest version. I was trying to widen the transfer column. In fooling around with it, however, I seem to have gone down a rabbit hole. Now, my description column is extremely wide, my transfer column has basically disappeared (yes, I know it's there, but the vertical edges are next to the adjoining column and indistinguishable. See the screenshot. I understand I can't "move" the description column. But whenever I tried to move the other columns to the left, it just reduces the width (and like the transfer column, seemingly disappears). How do i shrink the description column, double clicking on it does not reset. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user If you are using Nabble or Gmane, please see https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Mailing_Lists for more information. ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
