Hey, everyone! I've been having problems with my weather widget. For some odd reason if keeps shifting downwards every now and then. At one point I decided to leave them alone for about 3 weeks and eventually they shifted all the way to the bottom of the screen. Does anyone else have this problem? If so, is there a way to fix this? Thanks.

I can assure you with all certainty that it is dashboard's fault, not yours. That seems to be just one of those things that dashboard has a tendency to do. The fact that it's only happening with the Weather Widget only speaks more poorly of how badly coded that widget (and all of Dashboard) is.

I don't have a fix for you, I wish I did, but I think that this is beyond anything we can do. It's going to have to take Apple scrapping DB and starting over to get it right. Although I'd personally be happy if it wasn't there at all.

Come waste your time with me

Hmm... I've not had this problem with any widget (incl. weather). Perhaps it's caused by a combination of things factoring together and can thus be avoided... (if we can isolate those factors)?

I have a dualscreen, could this maybe affect it?? also when it happens it appears to move to where the expanded weatther would cover, ie it sits at the bottom if it is minimised.

I'll make it more clear this time so it's a little easier.

Dashboard is buggy and worthless.
