default wordpress category widget

[szool 0]

I have found that when using two instances of the default wordpress category widget in the same sidebar where both are configured as "drop down" then only the top one will work. The bottom one will not do anything when you click on it. If one is configured as other than drop-down, then they both work. This holds true on both my Station Pro template and my Whitehouse Pro template, on two different servers with plugins disabled. Any ideas on how to fix that?

Try another category plugin, like Multiple Category Selection Widget? Depending on what you are trying to achieve, then Scribu's wonderful Query Multiple Taxonomies might do the trick (categories just being a type of taxonomy).

As far as the core of the problem is concerned. Those widgets are WordPress based, there isn't much we can do to fix it.
