When attempting to paste or delete into a text widget I am unable to see the whole paste into the widget! HELP!
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Widget page is too far right
-
-
What size monitor have you got and what is the resolution?
-
1280 x 800 pixels. compaqR4000. When I attempt to edit the widget TEXT with something that I have pasted inside, only the right side of the widget appears and does not give me the option of CHANGE or REMOVE. I can see only half of the widget and when I attempt to drag it to the right to see the entire widget and let go of the drag, it pushes it right back to where I only see half the paste. VERY VERY annoying. I can't change any widgets. PLEASE help.
-
Hmmm, that should be plenty I would think.
With the widget open, try right clicking on the widget and select "reload" or reload frame.
-
I have the same problem moreover I cannot highlight or copy the text/code within.
using IE 6.02The change and remove doesn't work for me as well......sheesh!
-
There isn't a "reload" or reload frame when I right click inside the widget. It just says undo, cut, copy, paste, delete, select all. I have to manually delete everything with the backspace key instead of running the mouse over the entire paste to delete it.
-
juleslife...I feel your pain brother. This is quite annoying. Hopefully the sacredpath can guide us through!
-
Yeah, I am too. I only can see half of my text widgets.
Please HELP us ! -
right click while on the blue frame of the widget box. If you click in the text area there will not be.
-
You should also be able to select all by putting the cursor at some point in the text and hitting ctrl+a (for select all). That could be a workaround till things get ironed out.
-
It tried that. No "reload" option there.
-
The ctrl+a does not work while inside the text widget either. Any other suggestions?
-
Plus, I can't remove the current widgets from the lists.
-
What browser are you using? I can right click and get reload while on the frame in FF and Safari 3.
Let's try this then. With the text widget open, force reload the entire page by going to the view menu.
-
Guess we'll just have to wait till they're done fixing the rest of the problems......and well so far they've not let us down in the past. I just think they did too much at one go,a gradual change would have been much better. I wonder also if they had done some rigorous UAT (user acceptance tests) before actually launching this????? *sighs*
Cheers mates!

I have Internet Explorer. Under the view on the left top of the screen? There is no "reload" option, just a refresh and I hit that to no avail.
-
Ok, buddy !
-
Refresh is fine, use that. Every browser seems to call it something else.
-
Sorry. That didn't work either. It is only the text widget that seems to have this problem. It's like whatever you have pasted into the text widget is too large (wide) and it forces you to only see the right side. I hope this is fixed soon.
-
It sounds like it isn't wrapping the text, is that correct? Are there some long links or something in it?
Could you take a screenshot of it so that I can see what it looks like and upload it somewhere (your blog) and give me a link?
-
Here is what my text widget looks like. See if this gives you any clues on how to fix it...

That is so strange. I'm afraid that is going to be something staff will have to look at. Contact support, they are open all weekend. I don't know how quickly they will get back to you since I don't know how many are ahead of you in the queue.
-
You might try downloading firefox and giving it a try. You can always uninstall it afterward if there is no difference.
-
Will try FireFox. Thanks for your help.
-
You're welcome, sorry I didn't solve the issue for you.
-
I downloaded Firefox it WORKED! I guess the problem lies in the Internet Explorer. I can see the entire text widget and delete, copy and paste with no problems. Thanks again for your help.

IE 6 and 7 have over 100 incompatibilities/problems each with W3C HTML and XHTML standards and apparently WordPress is more picky. I'm sure WordPress will address it though, but you are up and running and that is the important thing.
-
Being that of the many blogs at WordPress, everyone will not go get Firefox in order to use WordPress, so it's pretty sure they'll address those issues. I'm working around it by just using the html editor instead of the visual when I need to make a link. One doesn't have to code the link in it either though, because the link option on the html editor menu opens up a pop-up you only have to paste your link into.
I'm sure when the more important bugs and snafus are ironed out, they'll tend to this one (and hopefully the one where we can't copy/paste into our text widgets also).
-
Now, I've got it. I'm using Mozilla ver 3.0 2 beta. And it's working. At before, I used IE 6.
So the conclusion, I must leave IE 6 from now, and start using Mozilla.
But wordpress should have noticed this problem solving to all wordpress bloggers all over the world. Perhaps, some of them don't know about this. Thanx. -
In IE 6.02 I clicked on the blue bar of the widget and moved it ever so slightly to the left of the screen.... suddenly the whole widget box appeared. WOW.... unfortunately it did not allow me to edit the box though?!!? Close but no cigar! Not sure if someone who tries can actually get to edit though, that's why I am posting this (just in case you can)
Fraccas, I am one of those who cannot download Firefox and agree that this issue needs to be fixed for those of us who need to use IE.
