I've got a clean install of Umbraco 4.7.0 running in WebMatrix + Firefox 3.6.18, and having issues with uComponents 2.2 Beta
I load uComment (probably not related), and everything looks fine in the dashboard. If I load uComponents 2.1 and activate all items, everything continues to be normal.
However, when I add 2.2 beta (or just 2.2 beta without 2.1) I start having weirdness in the dashboard...
Sometimes, I see the tree fine, but no right hand pane (regardless of which section I'm in). When this happens, I cannot perform any actions, including uninstalling the package, because the tree is inactive.
Most of the time now, I can switch between sections, but the right pane does not synchronize. If I'm content and displaying the a page, then switch to Users, I get the User tree, but still show the content in the right side.
If I select a user (or anything else in the tree), I do get the appropriate right pane. But this happens again if I switch to another section.
I've been able to reproduce this issue a number of times. Hope this helps!
Hi Alan, welcome to the Umbraco forum - and thanks for using uComponents!
The issue with the right pane not changing isn't a bug, more of a feature of uComponent's UI module. It enables drag-n-drop functionality between the various sections, say from Media to a content/document edit screen. (You can literally drag an item from the media tree onto a document's media picker, or multi-node tree picker).
If you find that you aren't using the UI modules (drag-n-drop and keyboard shortcuts), then you can disable that functionality. Open the Web.config from the root of your website, find the following line and remove it:

Note: It's probably listed in the Web.config twice (once for IIS6 and the other for IIS7).
Cheers, Lee.
Thank you Lee! That solved the problem.
Is there some documentation that would have described the drag and drop (and other) functions?
FYI: Before applying the workaround, I noticed that the title above the tree stays at "Content" even when in a different section.
