I believe you are buggy. Everything still works the way it did prior to the upgrade for me, drag/drop, dropdown, etc
Okay, well I deactivated/reactivated all plugins and it did not correct the problem. PHP & MYSQL meet requirements.
(Moderators, if you want to move this to another category now that would be great)
Did you also try switching to twentyeleven theme? A few themes are surfacing which aren’t 3.2 compatible
Did you try changing to the default theme?
A couple themes (Koi for one) is screwing up those options.
I don’t want to change the theme, or I’ll lose all of the widget content. I designed the theme myself, the only thing I have in there that references anything other than the content is the functions:
if (function_exists('register_sidebars')) {
register_sidebars(3, array('name'=>'Sidebar %d'));
}
has that been depreciated?
No, that should be fine.
But if you’re unwilling to TRY another theme, then try just renaming functions.php to functions.OLD
Remember, the functions file acts like a mini plugin, so you can TOTALLY hose yourself in unexpected ways.

No, you won’t. Your Theme-specific Widget settings are stored in the database. If you switch Themes, and then switch back, all of your previous Widget content will still be there.

The Widgets functionality isn’t your problem; rather, jQuery is the likely culprit. From what you describe, the WP-Admin area is having some issues that are normally script-related, causing the script-powered Widget drag-and-drop not to work.
Where – and most importantly, how – are you enqueueing jQuery (or similar scripts)?
Here is what is loading on the widgets page:
<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
addLoadEvent = function(func){if(typeof jQuery!="undefined")jQuery(document).ready(func);else if(typeof wpOnload!='function'){wpOnload=func;}else{var oldonload=wpOnload;wpOnload=function(){oldonload();func();}}};
var userSettings = {
'url': '/',
'uid': '1',
'time':'1310053175'
},
ajaxurl = '/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php',
pagenow = 'widgets',
typenow = '',
adminpage = 'widgets-php',
thousandsSeparator = ',',
decimalPoint = '.',
isRtl = 0;
//]]>
</script>
There are a couple other references to jQuery on the widgets page, they are in wp-admin/load-scripts.php
Odd thing is, I upgraded another site without a problem at all. :/
Clear your browser cache. Seriously. Sometimes browsers love to hang on to old javascript libraries…
Also, I did switch over to twenty-eleven and went to the widgets panel – same same.

You switched to Twenty Eleven and deactivated all Plugins?
1. deactivated plugins
2. switched to twenty-eleven.
3. Cleared cache.
4. went to widgets panel
same result. No drag & drop, widgets open in a new page.
I just did the auto-reinstall as well. No luck.
