[Chandler-dev] Testing Quick Entry Google gadget

[Sheila Mooney]

Jeffrey, sorry it's taken me so long to get around to spending time on  
testing this. I think I found a couple of bugs. Sorry if they are  
logged. I did a quick search and didn't find anything.

I installed the widget in my iGoogle page and selected the Twins  
collection and added some items no problem. I signed out and signed  
back in to verify that my Twins collection was selected in the the  
list (it was). I couldn't add any items though. Clicking the send  
button appeared to do nothing. I switched to another collection added  
an item, then switched back to the Twins collection and added items  
ok. But when I signed out and signed back in, I reproduced the issue.

I also tried this on my iPhone which worked great. I click on the  
Quick Entry Widget section and added items. I did run into the same  
bug as above though. The only issue on the iPhone is that when you  
have the phone oriented normally ie: I guess you call it portrait  
mode, you can't get at the send button - it's too far to the right.  
Basically, all the widget fields don't fit in the display. I had to  
orient the phone sideways to see the whole widget. I wasn't sure if  
this was considered a bug or anything we could fix but I logged it  
anyway.
