Just FYI. I had this issue on 2.0.2 after installing Widescreen.
I uninstalled Widescreen thinking it was the problem and then tried upgrading to 2.0.3 - no dice.
At JimP's direction I found my way here, installed Widescreen again and the widget is behaving at last.
Thanks to JimP (for the umpteenth time) for helping me sort it out.
