GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 638370
Budget view: Account column very very wide (many, many pages until the amount columns show up)

Created attachment 177279 [details] A Budget showing the long blank spaces between the accounts and the editable fields. When opening a Budget or opening a new, the editable fields by period, are shown several pages to the right (around 55-fifty-five blank pages to the right). Then you must use the horizontal scroll bar to find the editable fields. After scroll to right around 55 times (pages) then you can see the editable fields, but you cannot see the Account name. To see the account name, for those editable fields, you must scroll back 55 blank pages, then scroll again 55 pages to edit the fields and so on. Is it possible to remove these several blank pages to scroll to edit the budget fields ? Seems to be a simple bug but it turns almost impossible to edit the budget. Attached a image showing the above bug: A Budget showing the long blank spaces (blank pages) between the accounts and the editable fields.
Which windows do you have exactly? Can you drag the erroneous account column end to the left again?
Christian, thanks for your reply. I tested with Vista. I tried to drag the editable columns to the left, even the account column, but I couldn't. The point is: when you open a budget, as you know, the system shows the account names at the left and the editable columns at the right, where you can inform the budget for each account by month. The blank space between the account name (at left) and the editable fields of the budget (at right) are so wide that you must scroll many, many pages to the right to see and edit the values by month. ex: Budget of Expenses for 2011 account name jan/11 feb/11 mar/11 ... ... 3.1 Expenses:Phone 65.00 70.00 70.00 ... 3.2 Expenses:Internet 49.90 49.90 49.90 ... +-------------------+------ ... h scroll 55 pages ... +---------+---------+ ... The space between the account name and the editable fields of the budget are very, very wide to the right, the you must horizontal scroll to access and edit. I hope that now you can understand the situation. Thanks for the attention. A Happy New Year to everybody. César Arnold
Yes, I understood this column is very wide. This is an error. I would like to hear from you whether it is fixed if you once reduce the width to the normal size, or whether it will still be the erroneously wide size the next time you open this page.
Hi Christian, all right, I understood I need to wait for a fix and then will try to reduce to an acceptable width. At the moment, I cannot resize the column width. Thanks and regards.
