 * My only active plugin is WP SuperEdit. However, the problem occurred before I
   installed and activated it.

 * Thanks for getting back to me.
 * I had exported the first 19 pages I created before I wiped the database, and 
   then opened the XML file in MacVim. I copied and pasted only the text content
   from the XML file into a page.

 * Thank you for getting back to me. We wipe the database and started again. I activated
   the Suffusion theme and did not use a child theme. I tweaked some of the theme’s
   settings, such as background color, wrapper color, etc., but did not tweak anything
   regarding pages. The Choose Parent box was in place when I clicked on Add New
   page.
 * I opened the existing About page, changed the title, pasted in some text, unchecked
   the boxes for comments and trackbacks, changed the page from public to private,
   and selected the template for single left column. As this is the only page, there
   was no parent to select. After saving the page, I decided to look at a couple
   of the other available templates. Everything seemed fine. I changed back to the
   single left column template and updated the page.
 * I then navigated to Menus and created a menu. It was then that I noticed that
   the Pages box read “No items” and the Add to Menu was missing. I looked at the
   Dashboard; and where it showed 1 page previously, it now shows 0. I clicked on
   Add New page, and the Choose Parent box was gone, having been replaced by the
   word Template.
 * The problem exists in both Safari and Firefox on both Windows and OS X Snow Leopard.
 * Any ideas on what could be causing this? I can’t think of anything I’ve done 
   that is out of the ordinary, and the problem has occurred with two different 
   themes.
 * Thank you.
