Bug Description

I changed the news feed from BBC to an Italian online newspaper. The Italian headlines are certainly more verbose than the English and what happens is that they run on over the limit of the edge of the screen, so they look incomplete.

The ability of dragging the items is to be considered sort of a workaround to this bug.

This also happens with the Recent Files block. When you have a quite long file name, it gets off the screen.
I don't know if it should have it's own bug or we can use this one as I think are similar..
May be the length limit of the headlines or file names could be customized by the user in the plug.

For now, you can change the position of the service to fix this issue.

Scaling services is in the works, too.

Good job!
Ironically, since now it's possible to move the services to your likes, this fix would be useless (or even annoying) if you chose to set the news to the right of the screen. The perfect scenario would be to have the shortening of the headlines only if they actually exceed to the left, but maybe I'm being too picky :-)
