I would not ship this patch. I'll elaborate a bit more my comments at https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=312816#c6 and I'll base my arguments on this recording I made http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/screencasts/112364.ogv about how this patch behaves.

1. It breaks with the current behavior of the application (auto resizing columns after data has been entered to fit the entered data)
2. It introduces bugs, I mean, setting a maxWidth of "9,999,999.00 " for the amount fields!? This is exactly what was hurting the number column and the fix should be all about removing a limitation not adding new ones
