Found the problem... It's a CKEditor problem, of all things! Seems to have been a problem for it for the last several months though this is the first I'm seeing it.

Again, sorry for thinking it was your theme.

Okay. I'll look into it. Thanks.

Hi there,

Sorry, but this isn't a theme-related issue. This is a WordPress feature, so please refer to the WordPress support forum to troubleshoot any WordPress-related issues you're having: http://wordpress.org/support

Hope you understand.

Best,

Chris

Whenever I create a post or page and save either the draft or publish it, I get the following yellow warning at the top:

"The backup of this post in your browser is different from the version below. Restore the backup."

The "Restore the backup" is a link that when clicked does nothing. The warning just stays there from then on... even if I go to another part of the admin and come back.

I also notice that there is no more "Revisions" metabox listed under the Screen Options tab so I can't check any of the revisions from there.

I can tell that there isn't anything wrong with the page or post I'm working on but I'm afraid my client, who is new to WP, is not going to understand. How can this be fixed?

I get the same behavior in both FireFox and Chrome.
