Using priority field on new To Do bar

[sarucci]

I've set up the todo bar like the old task pane, with flag status, priority
and description. Under custom/format columns, the priority field is set to
bitmap with popup list. But in the todo bar there is no pop up and I cannot
change the priority without opening the tasks.

Also, I'd like to be able to move the order of the columns in the todo bar,
but they seem to be locked.

Any suggestions?

My priority field works - is your table wide enough for it to work?
Rearrange the order of your fields or drag the whole section to the left to
make it a bit wider.

Thanks. Dragging the bar much wider made the priority go to the left and
function, but now the bar takes up half the screen. It won't let me resize
the columns by dragging. If I go to format column and enter a specified width
lower than 75 character or if I set it to best fit it won't accept that
change and changes it right back.

right click mouse and select view settings, click "other settings", under "other optons", uncheck "use compact layout in widths smaller than 100 characters". then you can change the size of to-do bar, and priority column is always workable.
