Thank you =) And thanks especially to Joel for developing Sidewise in the first place. In fact I sent a donation of $20 around September of last year simply because Sidewise functionality is indeed something I use for hours of every day.

yeah it turns out using the mouse wheel to select smaller text sizes in the sidewise window, does this repeatably. so its definitely a bug unless its the result of some other extension i have installed, which seems extremely unlikely.

if anyone else runs into this before its fixed, simply re-select the sidewise window (by clicking in a blank area or selecting a tab) and then hold down ctrl and use the mousewheel to resize the text back up a couple clicks. On my system it only blows away the right truncation, "..." and close and refresh buttons, on the smallest two possible text sizes anyway. So its not a big loss. But I'd still like to see it fixed.
