I managed to find my "lost" data by going into the registry. It was in the data key under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Yahoo\WidgetEngine\Widgets\ToDo List. Also, by changing the customHeight key to "false" (it was set at true), it made the list reappear!

At any rate, I've lost all trust in this widget. It's a shame because I loved it before!

Just what I was looking for. Font size and color controls. Thank you.

Hi everyone,

I have been looking at the code for the last few days. What I can say so far is that the problems start to happen when you delete / move the first (top) entry in the list! This messes up everything.
Another point: After adding / editing an issue, always hit before you start moving / deleting / editing other tasks.

So my workaround for now:
- Create a dummy issue at the first (top) position and NEVER EVER touch that :-). This means, do not move or delete it (edit should be fine, b…ut better don't).
- Always hit after adding / editing an issue.

Please let me know if that works for now and I'll try to fix the issue with the first (top) entry in the meantime.

Cheers,

Mike More

My personal work-around was to only check things off as completed, and only to delete the list at the end of the day. Then, the following day I would start a clean list.

I tested your suggestions only very quickly, but they seem to work. Excellent! Are you finding that you have to do both: keep the top entry stationary and use the ENTER key to keep the widget functioning as it should?

Thanks for making the effort to look into this issue. I hope that your efforts help to correct the bug.

Definitely a 5 star widget if working properly.

Sometimes when I delete an entry, other entries are deleted with it. Gone forever, poof! Also, reordering sometimes causes lock-ups and I have to restart. Nice look and feel, though.
