Comment (by Braad):

 Just created my first patch that attempts to fix this issue. I'm not sure
 what the official method is for minifying core JS so I haven't submitted a
 minified version of the file yet, but trying the updated code in that file
 works for me.

 The changes I made include switching all instances of the generic `$(
 'table.widefat' )` and `$( '.widefat' )` to `$( 'table.wp-list-
 table.widefat' )`. I'm hoping this is safe to do, but it's possible that
 the "widefat" class is no longer needed in the selector at all and we can
 just do `$( 'table.wp-list-table' )`.

 I don't expect my patch will be the final one but I wanted to get the ball
 rolling. If anyone can point me in the right direction to minify the file
 I can submit another patch that includes that, or if there are other
 issues with my patch I'm happy to make any necessary changes to take this
 over the finish line.
