Hey, good news fellow Mac users! If you revert to the Evernote Web older version (not the current beta), you get a left side navigation bar that allows highlighting of multiple items like you'd expect. I think this bug has been ignored so long because it kept being treated as an "improvement request". The basic/default functionality of the user interface elements was broken between EN Mac v4 and EN Mac v5, and nobody has fixed it yet. I'm trying to keep the pressure on the support team (to hopefully keep some pressure on the dev team). Hopefully we get our fix soon. In the mean time, as long as you have internet access, you can use the web version. You'll need to go to settings (https://www.evernote.com/Settings.action) and scroll down to the row called "Beta" and click the link to go back to the old web version. Reload the page and you're good to go. I hope that helps.

+1 here, please fix this! I submitted a support ticket for it today (#735309)

I have a workaround that has been moderately successful. Saved searches still get messed up in the widget, but I have had a couple weeks of perfect list widget performance when I created a designated notebook for it. I use (or try to) TSW, where your tasks are tracked according to tags (1-now, 2-next, 3-soon, etc). I made a notebook called 1-now, and that reliably displays on my home screen even if I make new notes (which would mess up the saved searches). Maybe this can help someone. Good luck!

I filed a new support ticket for it (#546509). I doubt older forum threads are followed closely by the EN Dev team. This is an ongoing bug though, so I'm glad they leave threads open so we can compare notes. Evernote is great, and a fix for this issue would significantly improve Evernote on Android.

Ditto here- Evernote on Mac OS and Android + Dragon Dictate 4 on Mac... they aren't on speaking terms at the moment.

Yup, still broken for me too. Please fix!

Update: interestingly, the "Evernote Widget Large" widget stays updated on saved searches while the "Evernote List" widget (the one i was referring to in my last post) fails to stay updated. I prefer the list format, but I'll go with tiles for now. Perhaps a comparison between code of those two widgets could quickly shed light on this bug.

This problem has not been solved as of Dec. 5th '13 (widget v5.2.1; EN 5.5.3; MotoX running KitKat). Maybe someday...

I have the same issue on a Moto X running Android 4.2.2 and EN widget 3.1.1 and EN 5.5-- I tried backing out with the back button but I still had problems. Would really appreciate a fix b/c shortcuts or saved searches are essential to my EN usage. Thanks!
