    <summary type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Just came across a combination that borks user profile page edits, afaict. I've used jQuery Update and SimpleMenu together on a number of sites without a problem. (SimpleMenu is handy for giving admins quick access to the admin area -- otherwise I consider it a usability nightmare, but anyway....)</p>
<p>Add TinyMCE -- and I never would except upon the absolute insistence of a client -- and suddenly pages start coming up blank with a js message: "Disable Rich Text".</p>
<p>TinyMCE's desire to get in on the action of any textarea, no matter for what purpose, already was crashing pages with nodewords fields, so that made the bad stew even worse.</p>
<p>But just the 3 modules in the title creates problems, too. Now SimpleMenu itself doesn't seem to be happy with jQuery Update when TinyMCE is around, but leave out the mice and SimpleMenu seems to work fine.</p>
<p>Simplemenu has a few open bugs, but I don't see anything quite related, and I'm not convinced it's simplemenu's fault, anyway, even though disabling simplemenu fixes the problem in this particular stew.</p>
<p>Blech.</p>
