Inconsistent widget scaling behavior
Folks,
Embed Widget in Page:
I just embedded a widget on a "page" (clicked Add Module > Add Wide Module > selected Embed Widget / Video > pasted Embed code > read message "We found 1 scalable widget in this embed code. These embedded widgets have been automatically scaled to fit the dimensions of this module." > clicked Add Module)
Success!! The widget that was just a few pixels too wide has been perfectly scaled to fit.
Embed same Widget in Blog Post:
I added the same widget in a blog post (clicked Write a Post > clicked Advanced Editor > clicked on Insert Video or Embedded Widget icon > pasted in code > clicked Insert > see widget displayed as green box in editor > clicked Save)
Failure.... The widget that was just a few pixels too wide is now 1) overlapping the right column (Firefox 3) and 2) is cut off (Internet Explorer 7). Uggh... very frustrating.
Could someone on the Groupsite Development team look into this? Sure would be a wonderful user-friendly gesture to make the scaling of widgets consistently available in all areas where widgets can be embedded.
Thanks!

Ditto. I've been having problems embedding video code from MSNBC into a video blogs and discussions, but the exact same code works perfectly fine when I embed it onto a video/widget module on any page.
Hello Groupsite support - has anyone been able to look into this issue yet? We're quite anxious to embed some widgets in the blog and have them look as nice as they do on pages, so if it's ever going to be possible to scale the widgets in blogs/discussions it would be great to know - thanks!!
(and thanks Brian for saying that you're experiencing it using a different widget - at first I was questioning whether it was the widget I was using, but since it scales correctly on pages, I guess it's not the widget...)
Hi, Sarah -- unfortunately, no updates to report yet on this (Ticket #1332) -- sorry for delay.
Ok - thanks Diana!
