Indeed, unselecting those columns in Options > Display Columns shrinks the
table to not take 100% of the space.
A simpler fix would be to change this line in the CSS block:
.entries-table > table { width: 100% }
to simply:
table { width: 100% }
as there is no reason to specify this for just the .entries-table that I can
see. (other than the ‘main’ table, each of the header sections are their own
table, but still behave if they are set to 100%.
You might also set just the entries-table container smaller and center it:
.entries-table { width: 75%; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; }
I’m generally not a fan of nested tables for layout purposes, especially when
the layout can be achieved with floats. (that are being used anyway) The
invoice line items *are* tabular data, so a table there of course makes sense
and is semantically correct.
I filed a bug for this: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=797401
