"sidebar" k2 category article assigned "home" page, sidebar-a position, in module settings not formatted way expect--it has colored background , bullet, not want, , not match see on gantry example pages.

however, if call same sidebar article adding category "sidebar" home menu, not formatted background , bullet. not in sidebar position. instead above (or below, if change ordering) primary article.
