For the record, you can also double click the Description column and get it to
adjust.
Simplifies the process.
As for the "repeat for every register" comment, it is possible to edit the
settings file (*.gcm somewhere, I believe) that controls column widths for all
accounts and find/replace all to use a specific setting. It's not ideal, but it
does get some measure of sanity to register displays. (Usual warnings about
editing settings files outside the app apply, although a borked gcm can simply
be deleted and GnuCash will regenerate it.)
There may also be a setting for the default register geometry, but that's above
my pay grade.
