Weather Widget keeps going up and down

[DaMob]

I have 4 weather widgets (the standard one that came with OS X)
And after a restart, some of them have gone up a bit, or down. So as you can imagine with 4 of them, it can get unorganized if I don't move them back to their original positions.

I've heard from other people who have the same problem, but I'm just wondering if anyone has a solution to this?

Thanks!

Happens to me occasionally, but not all the time
Not sure there is a real fix for it other than just adjusting them manually

Happens to me as well. Sorry, I don't have a fix. Sub'd for more info.

My Solution - recoded OSX Weather widget

http://www.macuser.de/forum/f102/bugfix-osx-wetter-599606/

Thread is in german, but in conclusion: I recoded the Widget, so it never jumps anymore.

Directlink to the widget:

Replace in /Library/Widgets

Thanks, I'll give it a go. I had resorted to locking the weather widget's .plist file to stop it jumping around. And to think this problem is still around ever since dashboard was introduced in Tiger...

I tried out the recoded widget, it's worse than the old one for me unfortunately. Instead of jumping 10 or so pixels up or down, it jumps down the whole height of the widget.
