 * I installed the plug-in on a local copy of a site I’m working on. The plug-in
   quickly revealed what shortcodes were available in a window that could be more
   user-friendly if it were longer, thereby reducing a lot of tedious vertical scrolling
   up & down. However, I had to uninstall when I noticed that many of my widgets(
   all the text ones) were no longer editable or displaying properly when viewed
   in the backend. The boxes were filled with unexpected error codes.
 * Since this plug-in was the only addition/change in my setup, I deactivated it
   to see if it was the culprit–which turned out to be the case. Deactivating returned
   all my widgets to their normal open-able and editable state. (I was relieved 
   I didn’t have to reinvent them!) It would have been helpful to have a plug-in
   like this, especially if one tendd to do a lot of testing.
