Some of my "backwards compatible" gadgets are displaying the home view
when added to a webpage. This is a real nuisance as I have coded for
when there are no views available, and with the home view have
included a link to canvas view. Obviously, the canvas link won't work
when the gadget is added to a webpage, and the home view is not the
version intended for adding to a webpage!

I'm sure when I originally tested, the code for adding to a webpage
would grab the html content type without a view. I would not have been
aware of this issue, if I hadn't recently been working on adding my
gadgets to webpages.

Just to make it clear: this is what was happening before:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Module>
 <ModulePrefs title="Backwards Compatibility">
 </ModulePrefs>
<Content type="html">
 <![CDATA[
  ****************************** Users without access to canvas view
see this*********************************.
 ]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="home">
 <![CDATA[
   Users with canvas view see this in the "home" view.
 ]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="canvas">
 <![CDATA[
   Users with canvas view see this in the "canvas" view.
 ]]>
</Content>
</Module>

This is what is happening now, in some, not all instances:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Module>
 <ModulePrefs title="Backwards Compatibility">
 </ModulePrefs>
<Content type="html">
 <![CDATA[

 ]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="home">
 <![CDATA[
   ********************************Users without access to canvas view
see this.***************************************************
 ]]>
</Content>
<Content type="html" view="canvas">
 <![CDATA[
   Users with canvas view see this in the "canvas" view.
 ]]>
</Content>
</Module>


Has something changed or broken?

Is this happening to other people?

Or perhaps there is another approach I could use - I don't want to
have a two links scenario "click here if canvas is supported" or
"click here if canvas is not available".
