Hi cruzin,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I pulled up a sample company file that also has multicurrency turned on and I saw exactly what you're talking about when I opened a cheque. After reviewing the settings and checking in with my other resources, there isn't a way to change how many characters display in that area. Keep in mind you can always check on your account balance in the chart of accounts. A great shortcut to get there is pressing CTRL + A on your keyboard at the same time. With the ability to change the size of windows in QuickBooks Desktop, it's possible to put the two side-by-side so you can keep track of your numbers while writing cheques.
