So, I'm rather new to Rainmeter (and as such, I'm not quite sure whether I'm just stupid, or this is actually a bug), but I ran into a bug when working on my latest Rainmeter skin (a minimalistic skin that displays a random word on every refresh). It would seem that the string is randomly cut-off/extended for no reason. This means that I'm occasionally blocked from moving the word more than halfway across the screen (because of the "Keep on screen" option), even though it's nowhere near the edge (and yes, I do realize that the "Keep on screen" option has a small margin around the edges of the screen. An example can be seen
here. At that point, I'm unable to move it any further to the right). At other times, the word is cut off, even though the ClipString setting is set to 0 (as can be seen
here. It's supposed to read "imagine.").
My (very small) skin can be found below:

I'm using the latest (version 2.2) Rainmeter.
Great work on Rainmeter, by the way. It's amazing, having this customization in an easy-to-use yet powerful package.
