[3386] Widget Woe: Missing from Panel

For the past few builds I have three widgets installed, Opera's own Currency Converter*, Huang Kai's Unit Converter, and Risidoro's multiWeather. When Opera SW changed the directory structure [again!] a few builds back I went with it in regard widgets since my own structure wouldn't work [bad enough]. Usually start widgets from within Opera, using the Widgtes Panel. Guess how surprised I was when I updated right now to the newest build [3386] and found multiWeather missing from the panel; it is still accessible through Windows Start, and it resides in Opera's default directory for widgets.

In short: There seems to be a bug in widget handling with 3386.




*Seems to be gone from the download site.

It's worse than I originally thought.

Now on 3390. I deleted the old installation of multiWeather and re-installed it from Opera's widget page. It is still not shown in the widgets panel BUT it gets loaded when I double-click the Currency Converter entry!

Confirmed.

Comparable weirdness here. Same circumstances.

Plenty of Widgets are invisible in Widget Panel, some of the missing get launched double clicking on the grey *author line* in the panel beside another widget's icon and below this other widget's name. Double clicking over a widget's name or icon does indeed lauch what ought to be expected.

If you do a left mouse backflip gesture (press right mouse button - move left - release) inside the widgets panel, all items show up and the panel works normally.

Yes, backflip (or even click left button, then right button, release, or vice-versa) makes them reappear... This bug is annoying...
