@Big_W  RE: I am constantly resizing columns so that I can read information that isn't displayed fully, and when I go back to a Sales Order or Estimate the columns will reset back to obscuring information again. How can I make the columns retain their size?

I've read through this thread and see the various complaints. However, I've oddly never noticed these issues. When I set column widths on various forms and windows, they stick for me. They always have.

I did test the Sales Order based on your response, and it seems to me that even there the columns stick, except that it's a little more complicated than for Invoices or Sales Receipts. This is because there are different 'views' for the same template. When editing a sales order, one or more additional columns appear, pushing the others around. And that seems to impact my column settings somewhat, shifting them a little bit. However once that slight shift happens, then scrolling through the stack of Sales Orders is consistent and the columns don't move anymore.

I've never seen, and can't duplicate your example for the Item's list. For me, the columns always stay right where I put them, as QB is designed to do.

There is also a complaint in the thread that the Reconcile feature doesn't have resizable columns, but for me it does. And they 'stick' wherever I put them as well.

For some reason, our experiences are very different. I wonder what's different?
