 Hi guys, I've been running, editing and updating Wordpress for years, and
 have never had major problems with the various widget variations ...until
 now.

 After installing Wordpress 2.8 beta 1 and beta 2 I have found it
 impossible to work with sidebar widgets (the new interface does not seem
 to work).

 Under the new Wordpress 2.8 widget interface I simply cannot drag/drop
 wigets into my sidebars.  While I can *sometimes* (after fiddling around
 with a widget) 'drag' widgets from under the 'Available Widgets' and
 'Inactive Widgets' headings to the general sidebar area, once I drop them
 to a sidebar, nothing happens.

 I'm also unable to 'open' the 'Inactive Widgets' via the triangle in the
 upper right-hand side. Trying to do so seems to make the screen (which was
 scrolled down to view their lower box section) jump back up to the top.

 I've tested the widget interface in IE8, FF 3, Chrome, and Safari with no
 luck.

 Apparently I'm not the only one having problems:

 My theme is Sandbox 1.5.1. I doubt this is a theme issue as the widget
 interface issue began when Wordpress 2.8 betas unveiled the new revamped
 widget interface.
