I think I may have found a bug. When two different projects have the same name, the older of the two will show the newer projects items.

One to the <span class='caps'>RSS</span> feed for the table of updates and the other to the <span class='caps'>API</span> for the list of projects. One of these requests is failing. If you are seeing the table of updates with some data, then it is the <span class='caps'>API</span> call. Two things to look at.

Seems to work … well as far as I can say, because it has a very annoying bug: It always switches back to the settings after clicking the ‘done’ button. I can spot, that it retreaves our project data, when the frontside is shown for half a second (before it flips again to the settings on the backside).</p> <p>Any idea what causes this ‘backflipping’?</p> <p>Hi Mike,
I was pretty happy about the first basecamp widget. Seems to work &#8230; well as far as I can say, because it has a very annoying bug: It always switches back to the settings after clicking the &#8216;done&#8217; button.

<p>Any idea what causes this &#8216;backflipping&#8217;?</p>
