APPS2SD and Widgets

I just downloaded APPS2SD and had it move all my applications to the SD card. The first thing I noticed was as soon as I made this move, any application (like APPBRAIN or PANDORA) that had a widget on my screen lost that widget. Even when I tried to replace the widget by going to the WIDGETs in my phones main menu, the widget no longer existed in this area either.

Is this common? If you move an application to the SD card, do you lose access to its widget? Only way I found to recover the widgets was to delete the application and reinstall it back to the phone.

Any suggestions on how to get around this annoying bug?
 
It is not a bug but a feature. It is supposed to work that way so that you do not lose your widgets when you connect the phone to a computer as removable storage and your SD card becomes unavailable.

Moves all apps with widgets back to phone memory and you should be fine (not sure if you will have to reinstall the apps or not).
