 This is a follow-up to #26047.

 Although the bug has been reportedly closed, I am posting a bug report
 because there hasn't been an response in the support forums. This has
 caused my site to not be public due to the lack of a menu an the inability
 to add one.

 My support forum post:
 >I tried a local installation of WordPress 4.3 on my Windows XAMPP server
 where everything ran smoothly. I tried adding a custom menu using the
 default twentyfifteen theme and it worked flawlessly.
 >
 >I then followed nearly identical steps on my DigitalOcean Ubuntu droplet
 running PHP and MySQL and setup everything the same. But now I am not able
 to add anything to the custom menu. Every time I add anything
 (page/post/category/custom link) the message under Menu Structure changes
 from
 >{{{Add menu items from the column on the left.}}}
 >to
 >{{{Drag each item into the order you prefer. Click the arrow on the right
 of the item to reveal additional configuration options.}}}
 >
 >I couldn't find any help online except a reference to a bug that was
 fixed in 3.8 #26047.. I can't understand why the same install works on my
 Windows XAMPP but not on the Ubuntu. This menu thing has been the only bug
 I have seen and have clean installed WordPress nearly 10 times.

 I have tried repeated clean installs of Wordpress with and without any
 plugins.
