  I cannot click and drag widgets to remove them from my sidebar. I’m finding out that other bloggers are having the same issue. What is the solution?

  Thanks for your assistance.

  If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.

  Note: If you are using an IE9 browser in compatibility mode that makes it render as IE7 and IE7 is not supported. To disable see > http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html

  If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com please do these four things:

  1. Try clearing your browser’s cache: http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050

  2. Make sure that you have third-party cookies and JavaScript enabled: http://en.support.wordpress.com/third-party-cookies/

  3. Try with all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily disabled.

  4. Try enabling HTTPS: http://en.support.wordpress.com/https/

  If it’s still happening, let us know exactly which browser (and version of it) you’re using by checking here if necessary http://www.whatbrowser.org/ and also post any error reports you get.

  It seems a “matter of … color! I had the same problem of rheath40
  with Chrome and Firefox, then I tried Safari and in the dark blue lines of the sidebar appeared a very pale “Edit” and it worked.
  Now that I know, I can make a pale “Edit” appear in the extreme side of any line also using any other browser. I hope this will help others

  This was reported and addressed in a different forums post:
  https://en.forums.wordpress.com/private-support/unable-to-edit-widget-contents-in-my-sidebar?replies=9

  The issue appears to be resolved, but I’d like to know for sure. @rheath40 and @mcc43, can you reply back and let me know if your widgets are usable again now?
