Window displaying list of categories, subcategories, type not wide enough and lacks ability to resize. This makes using the tab useless when a user has a tree structure with many nested subcategories.
This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled customize reports.
Customizing a report brings up a rather small interactive window. There is no option to expand this window. So, when modifying categories, only 7 categories show at a time. When modifying payees, only 8 payees show at a time. It is slow and tedious to move through these lists to find specific categories or payees. If this window could be expanded to the whole screen, and show more information at a time, it would greatly reduce the time required to modify reports.

I absolutely agree! I just posted on this same topic.
When I go to customize a report, I get a very tiny window that only shows about 7 lines of categories, etc. I suggest that Quicken make these windows significantly larger to show many more categories, etc. at one time.
Some of the links in this discussion have gone dead due to old age.
Unless I'm mistaken, this discussion and a few of their relatives was about the Customize Report dialog. The window to select categories is way too small and does not handle deeply nested subcategories well
Now let's scroll down to show subcategory levels 8 thru 13 ...
Hovering over these categories briefly shows the subcategory name, but the display itself doesn't scroll sideways to allow text to display.
The window itself should be made wider as well as taller to accommodate more categories, longer category names and some smart scrolling to show those deeply nested subcategories.
This is only one example of nested, indented category names where improvements are needed.
