Column Width Resets Every Time I Change Pages

TBH, I'm not going to bother submitting this problem to the product development team. I come to this forum frequently to look for answers about niggling annoyances in how QBO functions that should have been included in any basic accounting software, and 99 times out of 100 the threads I find are very old and filled with 'will they ever fix this? It's been XX years now.' 

So have pretty much zero faith that my submitting a problem to that team will result in any improvement to my daily experience with the program. Once I start to see follow-ups that say 'I submitted, and they fixed it!' I might change my mind, but until then I won't waste my time. 

Thanks for your attempt to help,

I am experiencing the same problem in Customers. My views are suddenly all over the place. I need to be able to adjust the column width. This is such a time waster - Ugh! Every time there is an update or "improvement" in QBO something else gets messed up. Doesn't QBO Beta test anything? 

I am having the same issue in Bills. Columns keep resetting every time I need to create a new bill. Were you able to find a solution other than what was suggested? So frustrating and time consuming. They should add a feature to save templates for this reason. Or just fix the issue! It used to work just fine and now all of a sudden with the new update, it doesn't work.

We recognize the relevance and convenience of performing QuickBooks tasks. 

We understand how crucial managing program interfaces is when working with your file, and please know this isn't the experience we want you to have on a day-to-day basis. However, the ability to keep column widths and other window changes as it was is unavailable in the online version. We're aware of how challenging it is to modify these bill transactions manually when managing QuickBooks tasks. That said, I'll help you relay your valuable input to our software developers so they can consider implementing your request in our upcoming product updates. To do that:

Here's how to submit feedback:

1. Go to the Gear icon and select Feedback.
2. Enter your product suggestions or feedback.
3. Then, click Next to submit.

Well, now the problem of QBO not remembering column width changes is a problem no longer, because now, Intuit no longer lets you change the column widths. As a result of a recent "update," column widths are no longer adjustable in QBO. (Verified via chat with support.)

To my mind, that is not an update, it is a DOWNGRADE.

Wonderful.

My column widths are now changing and cutting off the amount of the deposits from the bank. Just stated this week.

I came here and see this is over 10 months old.

Does this mean I just got my answer that nothing is being done about it?

Having more control over the display settings in QuickBooks Online is a great feature, WilliamK.

Since QuickBooks Online relies on the Windows font, the option to preserve modified column widths is unavailable. As a workaround, I recommend adjusting your browser settings to decrease the text size, enabling all information to fit into the columns. Alternatively, you can expand the page space by clicking the hamburger icon next to your company name.

Moreover, I'd like to help you relay your valuable insight on the significance of this feature to enhance your QuickBooks experience. I'll list the steps below to send feedback to our product engineers so they can consider adding this option in future updates.

1. Navigate to the Gear icon in the top-right corner.
2. Click Feedback.
3. Enter your feature request. Then, press Next to submit.

Additionally, you can explore our support page for comprehensive resources on effectively utilizing QuickBooks Online.

I agree about it not being fixed. All of a sudden today everytime I go into an estimate or an invoice I have to change the column width. SO FRUSTRATING!!!!
