Conky is "stuck" at certain width

Hi!

I recently upgraded conky and my original .conkyrc got deleted. I've managed to recreate it, but there's one thing that is really annoying. Every time I reboot, conkys width is cut off (as you can see in the picture below, MPD disappears and only part of the M is visible). If I kill and restart just conky itself it works as it should.

Just after restart:

After killall conky and restart:

Why is this happening and how can I fix it??

Thanks.

To start, your minimum_width line is missing the underscore but that could be a typo? The only thing that's ever cut off the width of conky for me is maximum_width so maybe you need it larger than 1200.
