Did the htc news widget change in this last update or what? Its weird, in the options it looks full screen, and sometimes it is fullscreen still on my phone, but then it will randomly change to be only in the top corner of screen although it is still not allowing me to put anything else on the screen.
In case anyone else has a similar problem. Looks like I just needed to kill the widget in the application manager and then restart it. Seems to have fixed the problem.
