V 2.9.1
- Fixed a trap in the XCenter widget that started after updating to XWP 1.0.12
It only occurs with multiple items in a group and also may manifest as menu

end of a resized bar which ever is less (leaves the left corner for pager)

XWP 1.0.13 and above)

saving; changes you have made will persist until lSwitcher is restarted.
