 * I can’t replicate this.
 * Do you also have the latest version of the plug-in? I think this might have been
   a problem with an old version.
 * Are you using a shortcode or a widget? If you’re using a shortcode, which exact
   settings are you using?
 * Is it doing the same thing with any other widgets?

 * Strangely when I use the shortcode, there’s not a problem.
 * The other thing that’s striking is that something (plug-in? template?) is processing
   the output of the shortcode – for example, by stripping all the tabs out.
 * So, when I use your shortcode, I get something that begins:
 *     ```
       <div class='rotatingtweets rotatingtweets_format_0' id='rotatingtweets_3000_scrollUp_51c52b707279f'>
       	<div class = 'rotatingtweet'>

       	</div>
       ```
   
 * and you’re getting
 *     ```
       <div class='rotatingtweets rotatingtweets_format_0' id='rotatingtweets_3000_scrollUp_51c52a5a32e72'>
       <div class = 'rotatingtweet'>

       </p></div>
       ```
   
 * Is there a plug-in or template function that’s processing or compressing the 
   shortcode output somehow?
 * What happens if you change line 1326 to
 *     ```
       $result .= "</div>";
       ```

 * Cool! It makes the HTML marginally uglier, but it does solve the problem. I’ll
   make the change in the development version.
 * Do you have any idea what other plug-in or template function might be causing
   the problem?
