Question

When I click a widget on my dashboard it automatically scrolls back to my adjacent home desktop.

Hello Community!

I have a problem manipulating, adding, and even deleting widgets from my dashboard space that is to the right of my main desktop screen. Whenever I click on a dashboard widget, my computer automatically scrolls the screen to the right to bring up my desktop that is immediately right of that dashboard (think: Three finger off-touchpad scroll). Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks!

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2012), OS X Yosemite (10.10.2)

Hello lionstigersbearsomar,

I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on exactly what you are seeing/describing. When you are attempting to remove the widgets in question, are you following the process outlined in the following article?

Remove a downloaded widget from your Mac

You can only remove widgets you installed.

Open Dashboard, then click the Add button in the lower-left corner of the screen. Click the Remove button to make the widgets jiggle. Click the Remove button of the widget you want to remove, then click Delete.

Sincerely,

- Brenden
