lost all expanded menus

this miraculously fixed itself

and now I did the update to 5.13 and then to 5.14 and all my drop-down arrows are all gone...I can't even open the 'Publishing Options' in a node edit...not good.

The theme was still selected properly....and the misc/collapse.js file did load.

Here is a list of javascripts that did load:

any other ideas?

MANY thanks.

oh...and I did switch back to garland and it still had the same problem (so I figure it's not related to my theme)

i looked once again for the collapse.js script and it wasn't in my source code...but after a refresh, it was there...but the menus still weren't openable.

Any idea on what I can do? I'm REALLY stuck as I can't get to most Drupal options without those being able to be opened.

I found it (before I got your most recent post). It was a conflict with Double Click. Any role that had it's admin settings enabled couldn't open the drop-downs....which is UID=1 by default.

It used to work....so I'm changing this issue to that module....I hope it's a bug...?
