Not sure. I do see a scrollbar here, but using it jumps by the column and not 
smooth (maybe just another setting for the widget that is missing).

The problem Marko sees is caused by the following change at the very end of 
"void Register::resize(int col, bool force)"

  from:  setColumnWidth(col, w);
  to:    setColumnWidth(col, qMax(w, minimumColumnWidth(col)));

While I agree with all the other changes contained in this commit, this one 
annoys me, as it is mostly due to wide memo fields. I do give an example that 
I have here (and displaying that all in one line is just nonsense):

SEPA-BASISLASTSCHRIFT EREF+ B##########V######### 41 MREF+ ############-#### 
CRED+ DE36ZZZ########### S VWZ+ sonstige Zahlung KNR:2 ##########/faellig 
13.11.20 13 Netto ##,##faellig 13.11.2013 Netto ##,##

That's 205 chars. Even if using the full 1920 width I cannot display all of 
the above on the screen. My feeling here is that we need a more modern widget 
to display all of the transaction data. It should certainly be based on the 
MVD model which gives us more control over things than we have today.

I would really like to revert that one line shown above to what it was before 
but want to hear some comments from others before (esp. Crisitan who made the 
change).
