 * When I add a Custom Field to my posts, the custom field data is saved to the 
   database, but the Add/Edit a Post page itself will not update via Javascript 
   to reflect the change. Instead, when I hit ‘Save’ the Custom Field appears to
   be saved twice. Deleting a custom field works just fine, but adding a new custom
   field fails every time. I have tried disabling all plugins in order to troubleshoot,
   with no luck. Here is a screencast of the problem:
