Sometimes I get 0 padding for accordian content sometimes with padding

I am wondering why my jQuery UI accordion content intermittently displays with & without padding. I have styled the accordian with padding

#sidebar .ui-widget-content {
  border: 1px solid #d2d2d2;
  background: #eee;
  padding: 10px 10px 15px 10px;
  -moz-border-radius: 5px;
  -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
  -o-border-radius: 5px;
  -ms-border-radius: 5px;
  -khtml-border-radius: 5px;
  border-radius: 5px;
}

This video on Screenr (22secs) shows whats happening. 1st screen shows search content without padding after 1 refresh, it has padding. Sometimes I get no padding on the meta list but padding on the search content开发者_Go百科. What might be happening. In firebug, I see that padding 0'ed out on element.style is the cause. So it appears jQuery UI sets the padding? But why does it change randomly

My first suspicion is that the plugin is applying either .css() calls or adding other classes to the accordion upon instantiation or upon sliding content.

I have played with re-styling the accordion and by far the hardest UI component to alter... purley because of it's onchange calls within the plugin...

I actually dont have a solution now, but i hope that's a hint in the right direction
