Bug in 3.2.1, admin drop down menus disabled agaaaaain

    Hello, this happened a few versions back in the 3 series, and was corrected with a subsequent update. It seems that this bug has been re-introduced — the drop downs on the right side of admin are disabled. Once in a while I can get the left menu column to open up, and the OZH overhead menu bar is ok, but the drop downs in the right side of admin are 100% disabled. This means no editing widgets, no adding media to a post, no selecting Screen Options. I maintain a lot of WordPress sites, over 10, spread over several different hosting services, so I know it’s not the hosting services, and I know it’s not me, because it’s happening on every one I’ve updated so far, and on different browsers – Firefox, Chrome, Opera.

    I’m running Windows XP on a netbook. I can get wp dropdowns to work on MSIE 8, but it scolds me for using an “out of date” browser, but I don’t want to upgrade that if that’s the last place wp dropdowns work! I don’t use MSIE unless I have to. I can possibly run Linux via live CD w/ Firefox on it, but I have not tested if that works with wp drop downs.

    I would really just like WordPress admin drop downs to just go back to working with the next wp upgrade. Just find where the bug was re-introduced, and re-remove it.

    Thanks.

    Try the 3.3 beta (or wait for 3.3 to come out). Menus got an overhaul.

    OK, getting the same problems as described…

    > Any area of admin where there is a dropdown menu has stopped working?
    >> Left Menu
    >> Screen Options
    >> Within Widgets

    I have just tried the Google Libraries install (which looks like a great plugin anyway!), but to no avail… Unless anyone comes up with any further ideas to test, will start working through plugin disabling first.

    Very frustrating and no obvious reason for it (so far)!

    OK starting disabling plugins and it was the DISQUS Comments Plugin!!!! #whoknew?

    Come on Disqus… Sort it out!

    A clash of libraries somewhere me thinks???

    Hope this helps others!
