    Some dropdown menus are not displaying correctly after widget options have been saved. This appears to be affecting many widgets, not just this one. This will be fixed as soon as we figure out what's happening! In the meantime, simply refreshing the widget page in your browser will knock the menus back into shape.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
