Bug 382111

In Kmymoney 4.8 running on Windows 10, downloaded and installed today, at least some ledger columns are not wide enough to show the data they contain, and all columns are fixed in width (they can't be adjusted and do not change widths automatically when the length entries change, or when the window is resized). Specifically, the No., Date, Deposit and Balance columns at least are all too narrow to display fully the data they contain. 

Searches on this site and Google show that these sorts of problems have plagued Kmymoney for many years, but I  couldn't find a clear statement of what the expected behavior is, nor a statement as to whether the user should expect to be able to adjust column width or should expect the widths to adjust themselves automatically to fit the data length. The "KMyMoney Handbook" that came with the product has no mention -- that I could find -- of ledger column width. Neither could I find any open bugs that refer explicitly to these incorrect and un-adjustable column widths. 

Clearly there's something wrong here. Although I *strongly* prefer manual control over columns widths in software that presents data in tabular fashion, automatic resizing that actually works would be acceptable. But if I can't see the figures the ledger is worthless. My guess is that this is a Windows problem, and further that you don't have tons of Windows users, given the lack of excitement here. 

This is my first exposure to Kymoney, and given that my time is short I am doubtful that I will return to it. But since the software looks as though it would otherwise have been a great choice, I figured I'd chip in at least with a report of my experience.
