But I found it, and clicked on it, and, as if by magic, the list of posts to copy appeared again!
Wow! ;-)

Thank you all, for helping!

I would have sworn that the only thing NOT checked was "author" since no one else has access - I didn't even look at Screen Options.

Again, my apologies, and thank you!

Though, I did notice that you did not have the Writing Helper enabled via your Screen Options tab.

Is it working properly for you now?

http://stofgenoeg.wordpress.com/2012/04/01/food-bom-hollandse-hap-bom-9/

If you need more examples, my blog is http://sensuousinkspiller.com/ and the post I will want to be able to copy is vinyl-playlist-42912/

And I'm happy to try more things on this end, if it helps.

1. The URL of the affected blog.

2. The title of the post you intend to copy.

I'll give that a shot, and hopefully I can find some way to make the issue pop up.

It used to work, at some point in the past two weeks (when I started this blog) and stopped working.

On the laptop, I know for certain there haven't been any changes or updates to any programs, or any additional programs added, other than the Firefox and Flash updates I did today.

I can't swear that there haven't been any updates to programs on the desktop in the past two weeks, I just don't remember. I don't think there have been.

With all add-ons and extensions disabled (and also with them enabled)

Same thing as above... the "Copy a Post" gives me the "Add New Post" screen, with no place to indicate which post to copy.

The "Copy a PAGE" does still work, correctly, opening an "Add New Page" screen, but with the options to choose which page to copy.

You can do that from the menu Firefox -> About Firefox.

I opened Firefox on my laptop (also a Mac) and cleared all cache and history, and disabled all extensions and add-ons and rebooted (and I really miss them!) and it is the same thing...

I'm happy to try other things to help figure this out...

Safari and Chrome don't have any extensions, they are completely pristine. And I get the same thing with both of them... clicking "Copy a Post" gives me the "Add New Post" screen instead. (And, again, it does work for "Copy a PAGE"... I get the correct screen.)

If so, would you mind testing with those disabled? I have seen some ad blocking extensions cause weirdness in the Dashboard.

Nothing like that now, I get the regular 'Add New Post' page.
