Column widths in reports malfunctioning

BobKick

In my "itemized categories" monthly spending report, after I've adjusted the column widths to fit the field lengths, and then once I change a payee name or memo description or recategorize a transaction, the app automatically adjusts the column widths, widening some, narrowing others. So, every time I make a change to a transaction on the report, I have to readjust the column widths. I have been experiencing this malfunction for at least the last 3 months.

For the several years I've used Quicken for my home financial management, the reports column widths have worked fine. Apparently in an update in the past 3-5 months, Quicken made an inadvertent change to how the user adjusts these column widths. I request that Quicken quickly fix this problem and bring the feature back of users being able to adjust the report column widths—without the app then changing them. I solicit assistance from the Community to give feedback that you have experienced this problem and to add your voices to mine to request Quicken to fix this problem ASAP!

Thank you.

Me too. Exactly my experience over the same time frame. I even re-created my itemized expense report which has yearly subreports going back to 2010 as well as monthly reports for the current year. Same result. There's no reason for the CLR or TAG columns be much larger than the MEMO column. It's very, very, very frustrating. Sometimes I really hate Quicken, but unfortunately, it's all we got.

I have the exact same problem as another poster. Since it seems Quicken developers want to see numerous reports on an issue before taking it serious, I'm reposting the issue in a new thread.

I have the same problem with the columns readjusting every time I make a change. Even on the initial report the columns are out-of-whack. The TAG, CLEAR, NUMBER columns are large and the important DESCRIPTION and MEMO are truncated. So I have to adjust all the columns to create a readable report and then if I make one change all the columns revert back to the unreadable.

Similarly, if I create a report to print and have adjusted all of the columns to make a readable report and then (for instance) I go in to add a title, all the adjustments I've made are wiped out.
