Widget functionality – a bug or "feature"?

    Upgraded to the latest & greatest, 3.2. Widget screen no longer has the drag/drop functionality – widgets open in a new window to modify, saving takes you back to the widget panel instead of keeping you within that widget – is this a new “feature” or am I buggy?

    I guess that’s good – hang tight, someone will figure it out. ??

    Hi, I had the same problem. But I think I have found the error: Go to the Widgets-Page-Options (near the logout-button) and deactivate the access-option.

    Screen Options > Disable Accessibility Mode

    It somehow has turned this feature on I think.

    FANTASTIC. Went to the widgets page, screen options, disabled accessibility mode – widgets are back to normal.

    Craziest thing ever. Why would someone even enable that? ??

    Thank you!!

    It’s for older browsers, i.e. if you’re using IE7, or possibly IE6, which I think newer versions of WordPress have dropped support for. It’s kind of like you use them at your own peril. The Javascript used for the drag-drop functionality might not be optimised or working at all for the said older browsers.

    Only recognised the problem, as I had to use accessibility mode before, due to some other bug I encountered.

    All the best.
