[wp-testers] Widgets Freezing

[Kirk M]

Setting "#wpbody .wrap { position:relative; }" worked for me well enough 
in regard to widgets functioning again (thanks Kasper) with only the 
Comments page having rendering problems (drop down filter list 
overlapping the "Recheck queue for spam" link). The rest of the admin 
pages seem to be rendering properly. Of course my problem is different 
from yours and stems from two different themes and a single plugin that 
lock up the widgets page when activated (Firefox 3.0.* and Chrome).

You said you run plugins for old versions of WordPress. Can you 
deactivate your plugins one by one until you find the plugin or plugins 
causing the problem (leave Kasper's solution out of the picture for 
testing purposes while you do this)? It may be more than one plugin 
causing things to go awry so keep that in mind. Also, remember to clear 
your browser's cache before checking for a change. I've had to do this a 
number of times in the past, just part of the happy world of WordPress. ;)
