Description
I have installed WP 2.8.1 on CentOS 5.3 with Apache 2.2.3-22 and PHP 5.1.6. After config, I installed the Widgets-Context plugin from http://konstruktors.com/blog/projects-services/wordpress-plugins/widget-context/.
Once installed, drag/drop of widgets from the wp-admin page no longer functions on IE7 or IE8, but it does work in Chrome/Firefox.
Also note that the plugin should highlight selections in green, but it does not; and option selections from the user are not saved when the "Save" button is pushed. Again, this functionality works in Chrome/Firefox. I was testing with Firefox 3.0.11.
I talked with the developer, Kaspars Dambis, (kaspars@…) via E-mail and it was his opinion that this was a bug in Wordpress, so I decided to follow-up here.
If the plugin is deactivated, drag/drop functionality returns.
I also tested on WP 2.8 and got the same results.

The plugin does not use javascript. The file is a leftover from a previous version. If you noticed, line 108 of the widget-context.php file commented out the call to that code.

BTW: During the drap/drop on IE7/8, I also see the following error
Message: 'this.helper.0.style' is null or not an object

the fact of the matter remains: disabling the plugin fixes things. so, unless/until a WP bug is identified explicitly, the ticket should remain closed.

Based on what I'm reading of the plugin, btw, I'm not surprised at all that it's broken. My own widget contexts plugin used a very similar approach, and it worked fine until WP 2.7.1. I had to rewrite it entirely, using a completely different approach, with 2.8.

To be able to debug js you'll have to add define('SCRIPT_DEBUG', true)
to wp-config and probably install the old MS debugger and enable it in IE so it shows the exact code causing the problem.
Replying to svandomelen:
This answers the question, the plugin includes a tiny js file that has at least two errors in it...
