Hello Phyllis, If I am not mistaken, that has come up several times. That column is the only one that works a little differently than the rest. The best help is from the guide
2.9.2.3. Setting Column Widths As with most spreadsheet-like displays the columns in the register can be resized by left-clicking and dragging the dividers in the header. The divider to the right of the column header controls the width of that column. In GnuCash the Description and Memo columns autosize to fit the register into the window so dragging those columns' dividers to the left will shrink the column but it will snap back when you release it. Dragging them to the right will widen the display and put a scrollbar at the bottom of the window, but that will persist only while the register is open. If you close it and reopen it or quit GnuCash the register will again fill the space exactly. Note Many new users have trouble resizing the Balance column, in particular making it larger. Just drag its right-hand border out of the window to grow it. Be careful, though, as there's another column called rate whose width is set to 1 pixel to hide it (it's for internal use). Approach the divider from the left side and click as soon as the cursor changes to a double-headed arrow (<-|->). Important When in split mode there are different column markers in the header for split rows and transaction rows depending on which type of row is active. In order to adjust split column widths one must first make a split row active; to adjust transaction line column widths a transaction row must be active. https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v5/C/gnucash-guide/chapter_txns.html#:~:text=The%20divider%20to%20the%20right,back%20when%20you%20release%20it. You need to choose the right divider and drag it to the left that should bring them within your screen I hope this helps. Thanking you.
