 * Hi,
 * This is an amazing plugin thanks to its ability to create tinymce buttons – which
   unfortunately causes the visual editor not to load.
 * Please fix this.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi yositsitsu,
 * Have you try disabling other plugins? Seems to work perfectly on a bare WP 3.3.1
   install. What are the steps you are following to add a new shortcode?
 * Kind Regards

 * Hey Matt, I did not try disabling other plugins – unfortunately have no time 
   for the time consuming luxury.
 * The usual way I’ve used so far – creating simple html shortcodes, only that adding
   button for the editor caused the editor to stop loading properly.
 * Anyway, If you say it’s working OK on clean install – cool.
    Let’s suppose some“
   bad” plugins is the culprit – I’ve found a way to achieve the desired result,
   so I guess everything is cool 🙂
 * Thanks for support 😉

 * Hey Matt, I found out the culprit that causes the visual editor not to load. 
   When you create a shortcode without name, it is assigned a generic number as “
   action”. Whenever there is a shortcode with a number in the action, the visual
   editor fails to load, until the culprit is moved to trash.
 * FYI Matt, and keep up the great work!
