Overlap of widget stack and alphabet sidebar

Feature Request

Need to use fill screen for widget stack because widgets are cut off, eg Accuweather. In this example, the refresh button in the AccuWeather widget is unusable because the alphabet sidebar takes precedence. I don't need or want the sidebar to overlap the widget stack. When I select the sidebar, it opens below the widget stack and that's fine but even though the space used by the widget stack is not used, it still interferes with any selection on the right side of the widget stack (with fill screen). This problem impacts 2 of my 4 widgets in the stack, the other being Wifi Widget which has control and refresh on the far right.

    Make the fill screen option of the custom widget stack the precedence switch. Since it appears from the comments that the problem of alphabet sidebar precedence is limited to this scenario, no other custom display configurations need be impacted. If a user wants a wider widget stack, then the tradeoff is losing alphabet precedence for the entire right edge of the display.

    Create an option (or permanent change) to start alphabet side bar below widget stack. There is no need for the alphabet bar to occupy the entire right side of the display. It is completely functional with ~80% of the display.

    To be clear, in this situation I have replaced the Niagara clock widget with the custom widget stack. Keep up the great work.
