I can confirm that this bug still exists in Edgy as of 2007-07-21. The non-functional color block next to the invest applet button is still there. If the color block is really meant to indicate the overall performance of your stock symbols, you should be able to disable it in the preferences, since obviously a bunch of smart programmers cannot figure out how orange, or grey, or purple (in my case) is supposed to translate into a performance rating.

The following two bugs are incorrectly marked as duplicates of this bug:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/89238
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/118398

Bugs #89238 and #118398 are in regards to being unable to remove the invest-applet from the panel, which is not a problem for me. I can remove the invest-applet from the panel by right clicking and selecting "remove from panel."

In addition, the fix proposed here, installing libgnomevfs2-extra, does not appear to be causing the non-functional color block. I already have libgnomevfs2-extra installed and up-to-date, and I am still experiencing the non-functional color block. Reinstalling and reconfiguring libgnomevfs2-extra does not fix the problem. Perhaps installing libgnomevfs2-extra is meant to fix the problem with removing the applet from the panel.
