 If you have a plugin which adds a metabox to the page at runtime, the
 "handlediv" button which shows/hides the contents of that metabox doesn't
 work.

 To fix it, the code (on line 12 of postbox.js and also in postbox.min.js)
 should change from:

 {{{
 $('.postbox h3, .postbox .handlediv').bind('click.postboxes', function() {
 }}}

 To:

 {{{
 $(document).on('click.postboxes', '.postbox h3, .postbox .handlediv',
 function() {
 }}}

 P.S. I have tried to submit a patch in the past but my entire computer had
 a meltdown and scattered files from here to Mordor to the Shire because I
 have no idea how to do it properly. This after spending a couple weeks
 reading up on how to it properly. So, unfortunately, I am not able to
 submit a patch due to the incredibly difficult-for-me-to-understand SVN
 system. My Apologies.
