That's what I did: move the divider down so to show only one month. 
Actually, 2 recently introduced changes conspire to push the new 
collection under the divider:
- the introduction of new OOTB events, making the preview list bigger
- the reduction of the height of the app

It just happened that I'm the committer of both changes (strangely 
enough), so I've been made sensitive to the issue. You're right to say 
that the UI didn't change but the context (i.e. presence of new OOTB 
events and default size) did and that was enough to break the script.

You're certainly correct. In the case of the divider capture though, it 
seems to be strictly based on mouse coordinate and records the mouse 
down and up. There could be a better way of doing it but that's what the 
recorder gave me on Mac. You may want to look at that (it's only 2 lines 
of added script).
