bradb, thanks for letting us know. Can I ask which browser and operating system you're using? Also, would it be possible to send us a screenshot of what's happening to [old address removed] -- thanks!

I am using FF 2.0.0.4 on Vista. Just sent you screenshots.

btw, the same exact thing happens in IE7 on Vista

Thanks Brad, we're checking into this.

Thanks Emily. Let me know if I can provide any other info that might help in tracking down the bug.

Same thing happens in FF2 and IE7 on WinXP too. All of the text/indicators show in the widget when I maximize the browser window on 1400x1050 resolution.

Same problem on:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.8.1.5) Gecko/20070713 Firefox/2.0.0.5

Any luck tracking down and squashing this bug yet? It's a tad annoying (imo) and I bet a lot of RTM users are using the iGoogle gadget.

Sorry still checking into this -- it seems like it only happens in certain conditions, so we're still trying to figure out what these are :)

Ah, I think we've managed to reproduce one issue that can cause this (no guarantee it's the same one!). Would it be possible to check if you have any tasks with long names without spaces (or that include URLs in the name)?

It looks like there's a wrapping issue if a task name includes a long word/URL without spacing -- we're going to fix this up so that these task names don't cause display problems in the gadget.

Check out the screen shots I just sent - you can see all/most of my tasks are long (a sentence or two) with usual, plain-english word lengths.

Thanks again for checking this out!!!

Looks like it got fixed a few days ago. Thanks!!!

it's been fixed (for me on all of my computers at least) since Aug 15. however, its broken for me again as of today. did something change today?

Hmm, not sure what's happened there -- we're checking into this.

thank you for checking into it...
