'Recent Comments' Question

So I find that whenever I add or remove a widget from my sidebar, it messes everything up and I have to re-copy/re-paste the 'Recent Comments' code back into the plugin to get it to work correctly:

<div class="comment-item"><div class="user-pic"><a href="%comment_link" title="%post_title, %post_date"><img src="%gravatar_url" width="32″ height="32″ /></a></div><div class="comment"><a href="%comment_link" title="%post_title, %post_date">%comment_author</a>: %comment_excerpt</div>


However, after this morning's minor blow-up, no matter how much I mess with it, I can't get it to return to 100% normal.  In fact, it looks different on all three browsers I tried:

  - Firefox: 95% like the demo – only thing missing is the separation between comments
  - IE: 80% like the demo – missing the separation, AND the yellow box extends down behind the Categories/Popular/Recent plugin
  - Chrome:  70% like the demo – missing the separation, AND the yellow box extends down behind all the plugins ALL the way down to the footer!


Any help getting this straightened out would be greatly appreciated.  (and I promise to not mess with the sidebar too much in the future! – I just want to integrate Twitter into my site, and the 'Twitter for Wordpress' plug-in sucks!) 


Thanks,

Matt

Yes I'm aware of this bug. It's very unfortunate that if you edit the sidebar, you have to go back to the recent comments settings page and 'refresh' it by updating it. You shouldn't need to change any of the code, just simply hit "Update Recent Comments" button to restore the styling. The plugin author has planned a release adressing this bug, if it doesn't come around soon I'll probably replace the method to display recent comments.

I pasted

<div class="comment-item"><div class="user-pic"><a href="%comment_link" title="%post_title, %post_date"><img src="%gravatar_url" width="32″ height="32″ /></a></div><div class="comment"><a href="%comment_link" title="%post_title, %post_date">%comment_author</a>: %comment_excerpt</div>
</div>

as given in the README into your recent comments settings and it looks to be back to normal in all browsers.
