 * I get an error:
    Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected identifier
 * In places where I can drag windows, for example, in the Dashboard main page.
 * I get it randomly and I can’t drag anything or even press the help button on 
   top right corner cause it wont do anything.
 * I have uninstalled every plugin it came with and still the same issue.
 * I haven’t done anything else, just installed wordpress and uninstalled all the
   plugins but I am getting this weird error.
 * Could someone help me?

 * Try adding `define('CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS', false);` to your `wp-config.php` file
   just below the `define('DB_HOST'` line.

 * oh wow, why would they make it so I have to do that?
 * After adding that line it seems to be working now.
 * It cost me a week to get it to work…. such annoyance. Is this issue with the 
   host?

 * In most cases it works and actually speeds up the Dashboard significantly, but
   very rarely we encounter a few hosting providers who don’t support it.
