# Issue with shortcode in text widget

 * First, thank you for this great plugin – it has worked well for us for a couple
   of years. We recently added a shortcode that involves loading an image in a sidebar,
   and this is causing a problem where additional space is being added below the
   fixed images (even though that specific widget is not “fixed”) on laptop-sized
   screens. Note – it does seem to work correctly on a full-size desktop monitor.
   Any thoughts on how we might include this shortcode in the sidebar without having
   that extra space added on laptop-size screens?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fissue-with-shortcode-in-text-widget%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Update: I misdiagnosed the “laptop” part of this – the problem isn’t isolated
   only to laptop display. I’m finding it appears to be an issue with content length
   versus screen height. If you visit this page from the original domain instead,
   you’ll see the problem regardless of screen size: /bland-county-va/

 * Hi [@talk19-scott](https://wordpress.org/support/users/talk19-scott/),
 * thanks for reaching out and sharing your conflict.
 * We have an unreleased version that handles cases in which the content shifts.
   I am traveling today and tomorrow and intended to share that solution with users
   reporting similar issues starting on Wednesday. I will update this thread then.
 * Thanks,
    Thomas
