Description and account boxes too small when reconciling
As per attached - when reconciling transactions, the Description box in the line-item grid is too narrow.
Entered text gets visually cut off, and there's no way to widen the columns or see the full text without clicking into each field individually and scrolling with arrow keys. - and even then its still a not user friendly!
Is especially hard to review or edit longer descriptions at a glance.
I thought Xero's had already improved text wrapping and column sizing for invoice line-item grids? It would be great to see the same improvement applied to the Spend money transactions when doing bank reconciliation...
**Suggested fix: Apply the same automatic text-wrapping/column optimisation used on invoice line items to the Description and Account fields in the reconciliation interface, so full text is visible without needing to click in.
FYI, the response I got for the case I raised:
"We understand that the Description and Account fields in the transaction reconciliation screen are too small, causing entered text to be cut off and making it difficult to add or review information.
As a temporary workaround, you could prepare longer details in a separate note and then copy and paste them into the relevant field. You can also use the arrow keys or Home and End keys to move through text that isn’t fully visible."
I'm sorry but this is not a user friendly suggestion!
I look forward to hearing from you
Thanks,
