 * There is a javascript error caused by this plugin that breaks functionality in
   IE7 and IE8. It actually displays JS error alerts in these browsers when trying
   to edit pages.
 * Checking pages with Web Inspector in Safari on OSX shows an error:
 * TypeError: ‘null’ is not an object (evaluating ‘a.getLang’)
 * The main broken behaviour I encountered in IE7 and 8 was trying to add hyperlinks,
   the link overlay panel is either blank or missing features.

 * I get a similar issue when using this plugin in Firefox. Error Console displays
   the error as
    `q is not a contructor` in `/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce.js?
   ver=342-20110630` and the link overlay panel does not allow you to expand the“
   Or link to existing content” section.
 * This is a serious issue that severly cripples WordPress for my clients that need
   to be able to link to existing pages easily. If anyone has a fix, please post
   it!

 * Commenting out line 80 in more-fields-settings-object.php did the trick for me.
 * `//wp_tiny_mce( false ); // true gives you a stripped down version of the editor`
 * I haven’t had a chance to completely back-trace this, but at least it un-breaks
   TinyMCE, and the additional fields all still seem to function properly. Use at
   your own risk!

 * Update. This is better solution, as it takes into account whether TinyMCE has
   been loaded or not. Here’s the patch:
 * [wysiwyg.patch](https://gist.github.com/1472612)
 * You can apply it by moving that file into the more-fields plugin folder and running:
 * `patch -p0 < wysiwyg.patch`
