Growl Notifications Move Up/Down from Normal

I've noticed a weird thing every now and then with my notifications - while I notice it when playing songs in itunes because notifications appear more frequently in that case, it's true about all notifications. The default location is just a few milimeters below my menu bar, but sometimes they start appearing higher or lower than that. Here are some examples, first one is normal, second is higher, the third is lower, and the fourth is even lower than the third.

One time one of them appeared lower and the next one came up normal and the rest were normal, but most of the time when they move lower or higher they stay there - but go back to normal if I turn growl off then on again. Is this a normal bug?

This should be fixed in 1.1

Wow, I'm a little late to come back to this topic!! I turned on email notifications and received nothing... oh well!

Where do I get Growl 1.1? The most recent one is 0.7.6 on the Growl.info page, and that's what I have.

There's sticky thread at the top of this forum that answers this.

Thanks... I saw that yesterday however I'm confused about the download page. It says "Download Growl 1.1b2 and the 1.1b2 SDK." What's the SDK?

SDK is a developer term.

Riiight, I'm looking for a little more information than that. Like, what is it, and do I need it?

That's pretty definitive, if you need anything more why not download it and take a look at it?

If you aren't a developer you don't need to know what it is or why you need it.

But I do need it?

No one can even tell me what SDK means? A little confused why no one will even attempt to give me a one sentence answer. I'm not an idiot, try me - you don't have to give me a huge answer, I just don't like being told "do this because you are supposed to do this, don't ask why."

I'll probably just wait for an official release.

You do not need the SDK unless you are a developer.

We've told you EXACTLY what the SDK is. If you are a developer, you need it if you are developing your application to include Growl support. If you aren't, you do not.

We've been extremely clear on this, I'm not sure how much clearer we can be than the wikipedia article that says "A software development kit (SDK or "devkit") is typically a set of development tools that allows a software engineer to create applications for a certain software package". That is exactly what this is.
