[wp-hackers] adding more than 4 widgets to default sidebar

[Chris]

I was using Firefox 3.5.2
Have tried it again after removing all widgets, and my earlier 
description was too simplistic - it is not necessarily 4 widgets, and 
not consistent.
Made it happen again, but after a long sequence of add, re-arrange 
order, remove etc. The only common thing I saw was that the widget list 
background (grey in default) normally extends when the added widget is 
open, and this seems to create the extened backgorund space for the next 
widget.
On the 2 occasions I found, the background box did not extend and look 
to have room for another widget.
I also noticed that you have to drag the new widget around the blank 
area a bit to get it to show the dotted marker and allow to drop, so 
sometimes it _appears_ not to work just because you haven't picked up 
the "hotspot" area.

Sorry cannot be more precise, and it's only a minor issue, so if no-one 
else has mentioned then it's not a problem :)

After all that, I must say the 2.9 interface is lovely compared to 
earlier 2.2 - so good work by the many contributors, which I greatly 
appreciate!
