Dashboard acting very funny after 4.0 update

    Hello,

    Soon after updating my WordPress install to 4.0 I have noticed some funny behaviour on the Dashboard that is preventing me from using a number of features.

    I first noticed that the left-side pop-up menus stopped showing up on hover, but would show once I clicked the menu item (in other words to access “Themes” I first needed to click on “Appearance” instead of begin able to hover and select as normal.) Also, I was not able to expand some metaboxes that are originally generated as collapsed by plugins I have installed. I am also unable to expand the Screen Options and Help tabs at the top right of the screen. The latest thing I’ve noticed is that page pulls apart in a strange way when using Safari’s responsive-style scrolling.

    I have disabled the theme and plug-ins I have installed one-by-one to determine if one of them might be the culprit but so far haven’t seen a difference. Have I provided enough clues so that somebody might have an idea of what’s going on here…?

    Thank you.

    Another clue, the Media Library just does not load whatsoever.

    Where did you download the theme?

    See http://codex.wordpress.org/Using_Your_Browser_to_Diagnose_JavaScript_Errors to check for javascript errors in your theme.

    I’m using a customized version of Hemingway 2, though I have tried switching back to the default WordPress theme and I am still seeing the same kind of weird behaviour.

    Here are some errors I am seeing on Safari’s Web Inspector while on the Dashboard’s post editor…

    Do a manual reupdate to 4.0 http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

    That seems to have solved it. Thank you!
