A reasonable consideration.
Keep in mind, there have been only 2 inquiries about this column before now,
back in 2009. (on IRC)
It seems the discoverability by accident, even with people trying to resize the
balance column (and expanding the rate column instead) is very low.
And since this is

Of course, that all makes sense.
The other improvements, specifically how to resize columns, particularly the
Description column I think should be documented. There are enough questions on
the list about it to address the topic.

Adrien,
Thank you for your research and detailed response. 🙂
I fully agree with your conclusions.
I got the reference to section 4.2 directly from
https://www.gnucash.org/docs/v3/C/gnucash-guide/txns-register-oview.html#txns-regstyle1
which I arrived at when I followed the link called " Tutorial
I’ve never seen any documentation on it. I only confirmed it’s there after I
read Derek’s comment and expanded the column myself to see it.
I just did a search of the GnuCash site, wiki and html docs and I don’t see
anything on the column, other than a pair of IRC logs from 2009 where someone

I just tried to find reference to the rate field in the Tutorial and I
found nothing.
I think it should probably be mentioned in chapter 4 section 4.2. That
section even fails to explain single line vs two line view or dragging
around field widths, so it has a long way to go before it could descr

It’s still there as of 3.2.

What happens is that it springs back to its original width, obscuring the

Graham,
Once your balance column has disappeared, what happens if you then grab the
*right* hand edge of the Description column, and drag it all the way to the

shows the complete balance column, and the Description chan
The first place I’d go is ubuntuforums.org and check out the Hardware forum,
asking for help there with specifics on your system will probably get you the
fastest solution.

Graham,
"Transfer" is short for "Transfer Account" and is the field where the "other"
account--other than the one in the current register--is set. It's often called
the "account" field in casual use.

Double clicking the Balance header moves it right out of view! Description

If your problem is specifically that the Balance column is too narrow, then
you’ve encountered a Known Idiosyncrasy: the Balance column is a challenge to
resize. In fact, the only way I know to get it to resize is to double-click the
column heading. This is documented in a note in the G

Yes. 2.6.12 on Ubuntu with HP Laptop. No matter what I do, only the letters

No, that doesn't work. Sadly my previous 'fix' doesn't work either because
as soon as I open a new account window, the widths of all open windows are
spoilt. It seems to think my screen is an inch or so wider than it really
is, as the balance column is always off-screen.

I have large and small monitors and the sizing of the columns started to

After you scale all columns to your liking, drag in the header the end

Thanks. doesn't work for me.
However, I have discovered that closing Gnucash and re-opening re-sets
things, so as long as I leave the column widths alone, all is well. The
