# Widgets automatically collapsing

 * I went in to add a text widget to a sidebar today. I dragged the text widget 
   to the sidebar and expanded it. The text box appeared momentarily and then collapsed
   only leaving the basic menu items around it.
 * I tried adding other widgets and the same thing happened. I’ve never seen this
   before… Any ideas?

 * EDIT: deactivating AND deleting Suffusion theme (after exporting settings) then
   reinstalling and reactivating Suffusion solved the problem.
 * This is happening to me as well. Happened after a transfer from another domain,
   but is the only thing that is not working. My existing widgets work and expand
   correctly no problem.
 * I am using Suffusion for my theme. I tried a different theme and the problem 
   doesn’t happen. Are you using Suffusion? Did you ever resolve the issue?
