1. Is it possible to widen the left column with segment numbers? When translating long documents with over one thousand segments, the numbers don't display in full. For example, segment numbered 1134 shows only 11[/quote]
I see numbers over 1000 alright in my screen. This could relate to the resolution and font size you have in your setup. The resolution is that you have in Windows, and the font size in the grid can be adjusted with right-click in the grid, Customize Appearance. Please be aware that, from a recent post on another matter with the grid, Kilgray report that they have a slight problem with element sizes in the grid at certain resolutions and that they expect to resolve it soon. In the mean time, you can play with resolution and font size to see if that helps.

2. Above the Source and Target columns there are windows where one can enter a word to search for it in the respective column. But in order to search for another word, I always have to click the button to reset the search. Is there any way to skip this? In Trados Studio, for example, I can simply delete the word in the window and put another one to search for it (no additional clicking required).[/quote]
Indeed, to get rid of a filter you have to click the icon. However, the good point of this paradigm is that you can filter recursively: you filter by some word or phrase, and then can keep on filtering on the results of each filter until you reset the search. Very useful in order to locate specific combinations of words in the source and the target.
I hope this helps a bit!
