 Hi @Webzzz,
 I see this is your first Trac ticket, and first and foremost I want to
 thank you for participating in helping make WordPress Core better.

 I realize you may have never run across me before, so I'll introduce
 myself. I'm Chris, and a long time ago I was once a first time Trac
 contributor too, where one of my first tickets I submitted was closed as a
 duplicate of another ticket from many years earlier, so I get the
 frustration you are experiencing.

 Since then, over the many years I've participated in Core I've worked on
 quite literally thousands of tickets here, and I also help maintain
 several sections of WordPress Core's Trac instance (particularly the
 Ancient Tickets report). I've also been fortunate enough to co-lead
 several of the point releases for WordPress core. And from time to time
 I'm also guilty of opening duplicate tickets -- Trac's search isn't
 perfect.

 I would suggest the same advice that was once given to me many years ago
 by one of the lead developers at the time on my first closed as duplicate
 ticket when I really, really wanted a bug I reported to core
 (add_menu_page conflicting with other add_menu_page calls by other plugins
 causing the menu pages to be hidden), which is that WordPress is what you
 make of it, and if you want to get something done, the best way is to
 contribute and to not get discouraged. I ended up writing the patch for
 Core on the ticket that mine was closed as a duplicate for, that still
 many years later has remained unchanged, and is the reason that plugin
 authors can all call add_menu_page with the same position parameter
 integer, and nothing conflicts. Contributing to WordPress changed both my
 life, as well as the lives of everyone else who has ever made a plugin
 with an admin page (and their users) since. It's an awesome thing and I
 encourage you to keep at it.

 Finally, I also wanted to give you a heads up that plugins and themes that
 load a different version of jQuery and/or jQuery UI are not permitted in
 the WordPress.org plugin and/or theme directories.
