Disqus plugin renders Widgets (and general admin buttons) fixed and immovable

[jason@…]

I had to disable all my plugins and reactivate them one at a time to figure out that the Disqus comments plugin messing up the Beta admin area. Can't move around widgets at all. And collapsing of admin buttons won't work either. I'm guessing you could argue that this is a Disqus problem, but it may be helpful for you to know about it.

Can you find out what JS error Disqus is generating?

This is what I get in Firebug:

uncaught exception: Syntax error, unrecognized expression: [href=edit-comments.php?page=disqus]

Let me know if that's helpful!

That is quite helpful. In short, it's a Disqus problem.

We recently upgraded jQuery to 1.5.2, which requires no longer allows selectors of the form [property=value]. These selectors now require quotes: [property="value"].

For this plugin, changing [href=edit-comments.php?page=disqus] to [href="edit-comments.php?page=disqus"] should rid you of the error and restore balance to the world.
