an annoying oddity

[vsreeser]

Annoying problem. Conky changes width every time something is updated. I have no idea why

Here is my .conkyrc file

# Create own window instead of using desktop 
own_window yes
own_window_type normal
own_window_transparent yes
own_window_argb_visual yes
own_window_hints undecorated,below,sticky,skip_taskbar,skip_pager

# Use double buffering (reduces flicker, may not work for everyone)
double_buffer yes

# fiddle with window
use_spacer yes
use_xft yes

# Update interval in seconds
update_interval 3.0

#Maximum Width of Window
minimum_width 380
maximum_width 380

# Minimum size of text area
# minimum_size 250 5

# Draw shades?
draw_shades no

# Text stuff
draw_outline no # amplifies text if yes
draw_borders no
font arial
uppercase no # set to yes if you want all text to be in uppercase

# Stippled borders?
stippled_borders 3

# border margins
border_margin 5

# border width
border_width 6

# Default colors and also border colors, grey90 == #e5e5e5
default_color FFFFCC

# Text alignment, other possible values are commented
#alignment top_left
alignment top_right
#alignment bottom_left
#alignment bottom_right

# Gap between borders of screen and text
gap_x 25
gap_y 50

# stuff after ‘TEXT’ will be formatted on screen
