Hi John, Respectfully, this is beyond the user-list. That list has come up dry, and the conventional FAQ answer is not working.
The relevant FAQ entry: < https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/FAQ#Q:_How_do_I_resize_my_register_columns.3F_Why_can_I_not_shrink_the_description_column.3F > That FAQ entry looked promising, but it did not solve the problem. There are no entries in the .gcm file showing zero width to edit. Worse, uninstalling GnuCash and deleting the entire C:\Users\my user name\AppData\Roaming\GnuCash directory, including all .gcm files such that they would be reconstituted from scratch, does not work either. Interestingly, somewhere in the system it remembers what book I had open even through an uninstall/reinstall cycle. I suspect it has something to do with that. And whatever/wherever that data is, it also transcends books. If I create an entirely new book, it also immediately has the exact same missing column label problem It's also worth noting that the columns themselves are visible with normal appearing widths. Only the labels are missing. I've attached a screen shot. Is there another directory somewhere, or a set of registry entries, that also need to be deleted?
