Currency 'unit converter widget' not working

[wattso]

Ok so according to my unit converter £10 sterling is $665.579 US$ . Which would be wonderful! But its highly irritating. After playing round with it I have discovered that the problem is the lists are in a different order the left list starts with A$ and the right list starts with US$. I can get around this by selecting the currency underneath the required on on the left hand list (EG if i want sterling (£) on the left hand side I select Brunei Dollar instead) This is annoying though. So does anybody know ow to help me?

I apologise for how complicated this post may seem but its hard to put it any simpler.

Please help!

Thanks

P.S. I have tried using command + R. No avail.

Ok guys thanks for that I will use this one.

I'm one of those people though, even though I only convert currencies rarely and I now have this new one, it will still bug the hell outta me

Anyone got any suggestions?

I don't have a solution, I'm afraid, but I have this exact same problem. I was surprised to find that NZD $1 was only USD $0.015. These currency woes also seem to be caused by the list displacement described above.

Is everyone having the problem a developer with the safari preview installed? I didn't see the problem on 10.5.6, but then I installed safari 4 and now I see it.

I just installed Safari 4 last night and the problem is happening today. I think they are linked.

Just installed Safari 4 myself, and what do you know...the Unit Converter freaked out:

Workaround over at MacOSXHints: http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20090225162441861

Hope they would fix this bug in the next release. Now I'm paying the price for testing betas.

Trying to follow the Mac OS X Hints suggestion, but I can't find Unit Converter.wdgt. If I go into /user/Library/Widgets, it just has all my new ones, none of the default system ones are there.

Is it an invisible file?

Ah, no, the system ones are in /Library/Widgets/ (ie. the Library folder on the root of your HD).
