[wp-testers] Re: Latest 2.7 trunk(9802?) widgets page non-functional

[Kirk M]

Should have mentioned that I did this also (sorry, it was late) along 
with disabling Gears in Chrome. Gears was enabled for the site when 
using IE 8.0 beta 2 by the way, with no problems. I also tested this in 
my local Sandbox (the latest XAMPP on Windows XP SP3) with no plugins 
installed at all with the exception of "WP Widget Cache" and of course, 
the Amazing Grace theme...same problem as described below.

All browsers are running "Shockwave Flash 10.0 r12" and Java(TM) 
Platform SE 6 U10 (required for Chrome). I was thinking along the lines 
that both of these are pre-release and might be causing these anamolies 
(leaning more towards the Java version causing the widgets glitch) but I 
really can't quite fathom why it would manifest on Firefox and Chrome 
and not on the others and why only with this one plugin and theme? I did 
contact both authors last night to see if they could shed some light on 
this.

Oh yeah...despite minor rendering glitches at 1024x768, I'm lovin' the 
new Admin UI.
