I’m having the same problem…
I guess that’s good – hang tight, someone will figure it out. 🙂
Hi, I had the same problem. But I think I have found the error: Go to the Widgets-Page-Options (near the logout-button) and deactivate the access-option.
Screen Options > Disable Accessibility Mode
It somehow has turned this feature on I think.
FANTASTIC. Went to the widgets page, screen options, disabled accessibility mode – widgets are back to normal.
Craziest thing ever. Why would someone even enable that? 😛
Thank you!!
It’s for older browsers, i.e. if you’re using IE7, or possibly IE6, which I think newer versions of WordPress have dropped support for. It’s kind of like you use them at your own peril. The Javascript used for the drag-drop functionality might not be optimised or working at all for the said older browsers.
Only recognised the problem, as I had to use accessibility mode before, due to some other bug I encountered.
All the best.
