Edit buttons on widgets

    I recently updated one of my UK sites to version 4.5.2–en_GB, whereupon I noticed that the traditional drag & drop method of setting up widgets in the backend had disappeared, leaving me with this:

    A colleague corroborated that recent changes had affected widgets this way, but that her version didn’t have the edit button. Another colleague provided me with this screenshot:

    Both these colleagues are US-based and wouldn’t be running the en_GB version, so some differences might make sense to me. However, on several of my US-based sites, I’m running the US version of 4.5.2 and the traditional drag & drop widget placement still exists.
    Can anyone shed any light on this? I’ve investigated possible WP install issues (replaced the wp-admin and wp-includes folders), removed all plugins… I even tried changing themes to 2015 to see if somehow some changes I’d implemented in my child theme were at fault.
    Am I chasing my tail? Is this just something that’s unique to the en_GB version?

    I just updated another of my UK sites to 4.5.2 en_GB version and the widgets pages there still shows the traditional drag & drop style. So I guess that shoots down that explanation.

    It’s enabled, Michael. Thanks.

    is your problem resolved by having javascript enabled?

    No, Michael… that was one of the first things I checked, last night… it was enabled all along.

    I don’t know that this offers anything, Michael, but this is the version.php file from the site:

    <?php
/**
 * The WordPress version string
 *
 * @global string $wp_version
 */
$wp_version = '4.5.2';

/**
 * Holds the WordPress DB revision, increments when changes are made to the WordPress DB schema.
 *
 * @global int $wp_db_version
 */
$wp_db_version = 36686;

/**
 * Holds the TinyMCE version
 *
 * @global string $tinymce_version
 */
$tinymce_version = '4310-20160418';

/**
 * Holds the required PHP version
 *
 * @global string $required_php_version
 */
$required_php_version = '5.2.4';

/**
 * Holds the required MySQL version
 *
 * @global string $required_mysql_version
 */
$required_mysql_version = '5.0';
