Stickies Problems

[amgineex]

Hi all,

My Stickies program is driving me nuts. When i first started it, it worked perfectly. After I tried to create my 5th sticky note, it came up with only a minimized sticky. I tried to click on the maximize button but that just closed the sticky itself. When i create a new sticky, I can type, but i just can't see what I type. If i click on the "window" tab I can see the "invisible" text i've typed. I don't know what's wrong with the program, I didnt do anything different when I created that 5th sticky.

the same thing happened to me, trash the preferences and it should be fine (you will lose all your notes though)

thanks for the quick reply. Where's the preference file located?

Thank you both so much. This problem's been irritating me all day, made me frustrated and pissed as hell .

I've been having a problem where the RETURN key won't create a new line in the Stickies widget. Anyone have this problem?

Yes, trashing the stickies db did the trick. Thanks.

I think this is a Tiger problem, because I don't recall seeing it before.

You can turn off 'check spelling as you type' in any note. That stops those annoying red lines if you spoll a wrod rongly... and as it's just a note to myself, spelling isn't that important.

The problem I had not noticed before Tiger is this: 'check spelling as you type' turns itself back on if you quit and restart stickies.

Anyone got a work around (or do I have to switch to text edit?).
