Simple Post list widget fails
Simple Post list widget fails to honor the value the blog has for linking a title. You get the "link to URL" field if there is any no matter what you have on any Blog settings -> URLs page in either the Post titles or Permalink fields. Assuming the item list is not the blog you have the widget on - it might work for your actual blog.
The problem appears to be due to the fact that the simple post list widget assumes the default setting for the universal item list widget, which is "auto", which means use the link to url field if anything is there. The problem here is that is not the behavior specified on the blog's URLs settings page and can't be controlled and isn't specified.
It is an item list, not a linkblog. Either way it should respect what I put on my blog settings page.
The solution is to either change the default condition of the universal item list widget, or, to enable that setting in the simple post list widget. Or something else.
