MacOS – Web clips on Dashboard not always updating correctly in OS X (Lion)

dashboardmacos

I am having problems with Web Clips. Had the problem in OS X Leopard and now in Lion.

My problem is that I have clipped the "Major Stock Indexes" part of this page: http://online.wsj.com/mdc/page/marketsdata.html and sometimes it updates when I go to the dashboard, sometimes not (the timestamp in that section can be up to 24 hours old), which is frustrating. Going to the page in Safari shows me an updated page with a timestamp as of now, so it's not the page compatability with Safari that's the problem but I suspect something to do with web clips / the OS X dashboard functionality.

I have (of course) googled for a solution, but found none.

Any ideas of how I could solve it (or if not, how can one report a bug to Apple so they actually look at it/fix it)?

Thanks 🙂

You can submit a bug report here. It requires having a free Developer account. You can also submit feedback here which doesn't require a Developer account. I would suggest reporting on both.
