    cml, I can't reproduce the problem on my XP SP2 setup. I am running YWE version 3.1.4, and I have tried lots of combinations of frame/window sizes, hidden/visible frames etc.

    Can you post all your settings to me via email, my email address can be found on my webpage, you can get to that by clicking my name on the APOD Widgets about picture.

    Thanks

    This is a fantastic widget - thanks so much for writing it; I have been enjoying it for a while. I just have one minor problem with it - after sliding out the description text, when I slide it back in, the text box "overslides" a bit and is still visible on the opposite side of the frame.

    I have the widget on the right-hand side of my screen, so I slide the text box out to the left. When it slides back in, a sliver of the text box is visible on the right-hand side of the widget. Does that make sense? I can email you a screenie if one is needed. I am running Windows XP.

    Are you using the OSX universal binary version 3.1.5 of the YWE? If so there seems to be a bug in that version of the engine with text areas, but I haven't persuaded Yahoo to look at it yet :(
