 * Seems to work for me.
 * Have you tried disabling the plugins you have installed? There could be a javascript
   error stopping it from working properly. Also check your browser’s console for
   any reported errors (F12 in Chrome and Firefox if using Firebug).
 * If that all seems okay could you list the exact steps, e.g. click “Edit” next
   to the permalink, edit it and click “Ok”, finally click “Updated”.

 * /*lick “Edit” next to the permalink, edit it and click “Ok”, finally click “Updated”.*/
 * this is what i am doing. when i click “Ok”, it is changing. but after updating
   the Post this shows old slug.
 * i disabled all plugins, but also it is not working.
 * i am using genesis theme, i didn’t disable this theme.

 * Could give us an example post’s title, old slug and slug you’re trying to update
   to? Thanks.

 * Same happened, when I accidentaly disabled slug meta box…
 * `remove_meta_box('slugdiv', 'post/page/etc', 'normal');`
 * Maybe not this reason, but just for sure — is that line somewhere in functions.
   php (or plugins)?

 * Further investigation, this is also reproducible with WordPress 3.2.1. Simple
   solution, don’t un-register the slugdiv.
