In its current form, the user experience is waaaaaayyyy worse. My use of 3.903 
(Mac OS 10.15.5) has been quite limited. For several cycles of opening Gnucash, 
the only account I had open was a single credit card account (+ the Accounts 
tab). I was working on getting aqbanking to work, and had to edit the 
environment file to get logging working. I didn’t immediately change the column 
widths because appearance wasn’t my primary goal. There now appears to  be no 
way to reset the default column widths. If I close any credit card or checking 
account tab, opening any of them again gives me the enormously wide description 
column and the absurdly narrow transfer account column. 

So the ‘one time action’ appears to be unannounced and irreversible. Unless 
there’s a bug, you’re going to get 10 times as many complaints about register 
behavior as you’ve seen in the past.
