I’m sort of in the same boat. I can’t seem to get the save button to appear unless I sort by “Show used widgets.” Any other option and there’s no save button.
I am having the same problem with Version 2.7.0. The save as button on the left widgets window is in the wrong place, at the top of the page and it doesn’t work, which means I can’t save any changes to the left column widgets, which is a pain..this just happened after adding a couple more widgets…i wonder if it is one to the widgets that is doing it…
I added a flickr, calender post and categories
I fixed it.
It’s the flickr widget plugin that’s screwing things up…take that widget out by deactivating it in the plugins.
And should work, mine did.
It’s not (just) the flickr plugin, because I have this issue too and I never had the flickr plugin. =)
