Thank you, Dr Mike. I don't remember changing anything to my install recently. Upgraded to WP 2.2.1 on 12th July. That's quite long ago. My web host changed the Cpanel recently. Would that have any impact?
As for the wp-usermeta table, as davidctaylor put it, "when I do a select all for my userid, there is only a single "rich_editing" option--and no duplicates of any of the other options."
I don't use any LDAP plugin. When I turned on Firebug, I don't see any odd warnings. The following "edButtons" division seems to be greyed out though:
<div id="edButtons" style="display: none;">
<div class="zerosize">
<input type="button" onclick="switchEditors("content")" accesskey="e"/>
</div>
<input id="edButtonPreview" class="edButtonFore" type="button" value="Visual"/>
<input id="edButtonHTML" class="edButtonBack" type="button" onclick="switchEditors("content")" value="Code"/>
</div>
Likewise, the "quicktags" and "ed_toolbar" divisions are also greyed out:
<div id="quicktags">
<script src="http://www.clappingtrees.com/wp-includes/js/quicktags.js?ver=3958" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
</script>
<div id="ed_toolbar">
<input id="ed_strong" class="ed_button" type="button" value="b" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 0);" accesskey="b"/>
<input id="ed_em" class="ed_button" type="button" value="i" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 1);" accesskey="i"/>
<input id="ed_link" class="ed_button" type="button" value="link" onclick="edInsertLink(edCanvas, 2);" accesskey="a"/>
<input id="ed_block" class="ed_button" type="button" value="b-quote" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 3);" accesskey="q"/>
<input id="ed_del" class="ed_button" type="button" value="del" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 4);" accesskey="d"/>
<input id="ed_ins" class="ed_button" type="button" value="ins" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 5);" accesskey="s"/>
<input id="ed_img" class="ed_button" type="button" value="img" onclick="edInsertImage(edCanvas);" accesskey="m"/>
<input id="ed_ul" class="ed_button" type="button" value="ul" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 7);" accesskey="u"/>
<input id="ed_ol" class="ed_button" type="button" value="ol" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 8);" accesskey="o"/>
<input id="ed_li" class="ed_button" type="button" value="li" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 9);" accesskey="l"/>
<input id="ed_code" class="ed_button" type="button" value="code" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 10);" accesskey="c"/>
<input id="ed_more" class="ed_button" type="button" value="more" onclick="edInsertTag(edCanvas, 11);" accesskey="t"/>
<input id="ed_spell" class="ed_button" type="button" value="lookup" title="Dictionary lookup" onclick="edSpell(edCanvas);"/>
<input id="ed_close" class="ed_button" type="button" value="close tags" title="Close all open tags" onclick="edCloseAllTags();"/>
</div>

I do see a strange warning message while browsing wp-users: "UNIQUE and INDEX keys should not both be set for column user_login
"
user_login is currently of type "Unique" while user_login_key is currently of type "Index". Any problem here?
