table chaos since upgrade to 4.8

To follow up, I did some more research on what causes html corruption, and one possible answer is different versions of jquery being called by different plugins. So i installed “jQuery Updater”.

This didn’t fix it, but it gave me the clue to toggle on/off plugins that use jquery. When I hit the 3rd of my very many plugins, I found the one which was causing the problem.

This is a much better strategy than “TURN OFF ALL PLUGINS” and change your THEME because it’s must less disruptive to user experience and does not run the risk of losing plugin settings.
