I love this app and use it daily. However, in this last version, the size of the area in the menubar you must click to activate a pasteboard has shrunk, making it a pain to use. It used to be that I could click anywhere within maybe 1/16th of an inch on either side of the menubar image (in my case, the red scissors) and it would work. But with this new version I must click EXACTLY ON the scissors to get it to respond. This is kind of a pain because the idea of this app is to make it as quick and easy as possible to paste something, but more often than not I miss the scissors by the slightest amount and have to reposition the cursor and click again, which slows me down. I know this seems like a niggling complaint, but it really does slow me down (when compared to earlier versions, which were much more forgiving). I cannot find a preference that allows me to widen the clickable area.
Thanks to the developers for making such a great app, and for making a free version!

Menubar click area is too SMALL, otherwise it's great - Jay
FOLLOWUP TO MY COMMENT THAT "Menubar click area is too SMALL, otherwise it's great":I just updated to Mac OS 10.5 (and eventually to 10.5.2), and now this problem is SOLVED -- the area of the Pasteboard menubar icon that responds to clicking is back to its normal size, which is quite sufficient and no longer annoyingly restricted/small. This is a GREAT application.
