Is there a way to widen entries in the Data drop-down in QB Reports? The field that displays the selected time period is fine, but the width of the drop-down list is too narrow. For example, there are 5 different items that all say "This Fiscal...", but until I select one, I don't know if I selected "This Fiscal Quarter", "This Fiscal Quarter-to-Date", "This Fiscal Year", "This Fiscal Year-to-Last Month", or "This Fiscal Year-to-date". See attachment for an illustration.

Yes, there's a way to widen the entries by dragging the bottom right corner of the drop-down list, Dan. I'll outline the process below.

In the date drop-down, simply drag the bottom right triangle. For a visual guide, please watch the GIF.

Meanwhile, if the issue persists even after following the process above, you can visit this article to learn how to use File Doctor to fix company file issues in QuickBooks Desktop: Fix company file and network issues with QuickBooks File Doctor.
