Dashboard Address book widget broken

Hi, after upgrading to Snow Leopard I'be been unable to use the telephone number highlight function in the address book dashboard widget.

Telephone numbers in contacts are still underlined when the mouse goes over them, but clicking on them now has no effect, where it used to display the number greatly magnified across the screen.

I've trashed the dashboard pref files but this made no difference.

I can get large type in addressbook, but the widget is still broken.

Looks like it's a problem with a nib file (whatever that is...)

Console output gives:

One of the two will be used. Which one is undefined.

Yes, it works in Address Book.

I just noticed that when I click the number in the widget a single mouse click won't close the Dashboard. Just like when the large number is shown, you click once to close the number and a second time to close the Dashboard.

Have the problem too, is it still broken in the latest 10.6.2 load?
