I think I saw this same problem in the last day or two and the person resorted to reuploading the WordPress files.
Same problem…
I had the same problem with WordPress.com
That’s why I changed to WordPress.org and now it is doing the same thing.
I need help.
I upgraded from 2.2 to 2.3.1 and now the highlight of text in a text widget does not work.
I can not highlight text in a text widget to copy/cut text.
Oh MAN!
ya.. me too.. i think it’s the script..
maybe we can do smth around reuploading the widget plugin >???
AFAIK the only happens in IE. Perhaps until it is sorted out you can use FF.
Hey, I just found out you can do it in Firefox – it works there.
