Featured Posts – Category Archive not at the bottom of list

[Terri]

Very unusual problems with the Featured Posts widget.  This problem just started, so I'm wondering if it has to do with the latest WP upgrade.

If I set Number of Posts to show at 5 and Show Category Archive Link, the archive link appears shoved in the middle of the Post Titles (I'm not showing any content, just titles) instead of at the bottom of the list, where it should be.

If I set the number of posts to 6, the 6th post title will "attach itself" to one of the other titles, with no space between the two titles.

If I set it to 6 AND select show category archive, the 6th post will attach itself to one of the titles -- again with no space between the two titles -- and the archive link appears in the middle of all the post titles, flushed right.

So, no matter what I do, the Category Archive Link gets placed in the middle of the post titles.  For the life of me, I cannot figure out why only ONE post title will attach itself to another title.  It's not as if they all join together.  Just the one post, and always the same post.  I've tried deleting the post, trashing it, and reposting it, yet the problem remains.

I'm running the latest versions of everything, and using the Optimal theme.

Looking at Optimal 1.1, it appears to be a CSS issue with Optimal. Which widget area are you trying to do this on?

The one that's not working properly is in the primary sidebar area.

NOTE:  When I hit the Submit button in order to reply to you, I got a blank page with something about my not having sufficient information in order to access this page.  I then used my back button and saw my reply had been posted. ???

I've been looking over the CSS but not seeing the problem.  Am I looking in the wrong place?

/* Featured Page / Post

.featuredpage,
.featuredpost {
clear: both;
margin: 0;
overflow: hidden;
}

padding: 0 0 5px;
