The column containing the tick box for Reconciled (the R column) should be next to the Amount column. When reconciling, the most usual thing to do is verify the amount and then tick the box. When they're on opposite sides of the dialog, this is very error prone. Please go back to how it used to be in GnuCash 2!
Possible fix in PR383 As part of this PR there is a commit that obtains the scrollbar width and uses that as x padding for the last column. Bug 795101 was reported for the reconcile column tick boxes being covered by the scrollbar hovering over them and it was decided to move the column to the start. With the above that is not required so part of this PR restores the order to how it was.
Bob's change is pushed and will be in 3.3.
Did anyone consider moving the amount column instead? Is there a clear need for it to be on the far right? At the least, swapping it with the description would give these benefits: 1. The checkbox remains on the left, consistent with checklists in general. 2. The information is in an order most likely found on statements being reconciled against - date, transaction num, amount, description. This is also a decreasing order of importance for each line. 3. The hack to fidgit with the overlay of the scrollbar problem isn't necessary anymore because the end of the description would now be covered, likely the least important information in each line. (solvable as always by widening the window, though only for any but the smallest of screens) I suppose the amount could be placed 2nd, or 3rd instead if the checkbox really needed to be closer to the amount if you think the amount is more paramount than date or NUM. (considering different banks may order their info differently on their statements) Just a thought instead of bouncing the checkboxes back and forth and looking for alternative UI selection solutions per this thread: https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/383#issuecomment-408278377
I don't think I've ever had a bank statement like that. They've all been date, description, amount.
As John says, every statement I've seen is date, description, amount. That seems like the natural order to me. What Adrien suggested would be better than what Gnucash 3.2 currently does (tick box on the opposite side to amount), but I think the Gnucash 2 order is the best (amount and tick box on the right).
