Basically double click each header in turn to autosize the column width. I find it best to work from right to left most column and leave the Description to last as it auto-sizes to fill the remaining width which can be confusing for newbies,
Ctrl + H- Gnucash Tutorial & Concepts Guide has the following section on it,,,, Transactions 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. Column width settings except for the Description column are saved in the user's book state file and will be restored when the register is closed and reopened.
