  FWIW-I ran my check on my sites, which is not an “internal” test site.

  And again to be clear, I was editing in what is now called the Classic Post Editor in my site’s Dashboard (mysite.wordpress.com/wp-admin/)and not the Editor found in the New Dash. (wordpress.com/post/)

  I tried using firefox and it appears to be working. Chrome is still not working. Thank you

  My first problem with this was a couple of weeks ago. After reading the forum topic I ditched Firefox for Chrome and all was working fine. Now it isn’t again. I have cleared the cache and am using dashboard editor. When I click on a gallery in edit mode nothing happens. The pencil and cross icons are there but zilch! I have quite a number of galleries and this is a very active site so it is very inconvenient for me. Any more suggestions please? Should I go back to Firefox as it is working for lanalachyani? Many thanks

  WordPress development just gets worse and worse. Fix something and break something elsewhere seems to the general rule!

  @dcecile

  We test everything on official WordPress.com blogs so we’re running the same code as everyone else.

  Thanks for sending over that screenshot. I appreciate it!

  @lanalachyani and @bordertextilegroup – Thanks for the additional reports. I don’t have a suggested fix just yet, but I will update you as soon as I have one. For right now, switching to Firefox seems to be the best “solution”.
