Description:
I'm unable to edit any of my preferences on the English Wikipedia aside from those in the "User Profile" section. For instance, if I click on "Pending Changes", the URL will change from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences#mw-prefsection-flaggedrevs , but no visible changes will occur. I've previously had no problems with this on Firefox.

Browser: Google Chrome 25.0.1364.172 m
OS: Windows 7 x64 SP1
Skin: Monobook with the following monobook.js: [[User:Yutsi/monobook.js]]

Anything appear in the JS console when you do this? (Right click -> Inspect element -> Console)

I am experiencing the same problem, message in my JS console says

Uncaught TypeError: Property 'scrollTo' of object [object global] is not a function load.php:144

Browser: Chromium 25.0.1364.160
OS: LinuxMint 12 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu0.11.10.1)

Cannot reproduce with Google Chrome 25.0.1364.172 on Fedora 18 on en.wikipedia.org, no JS output either. Display is updated.

Can you do this with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Preferences?debug=true and paste the error with the new path (not load.php:144)?

If I do that error becomes

Uncaught TypeError: Property 'scrollTo' of object [object global] is not a function load.php:9393

also, if I select a different section and then click reload the correct section displays while reloading but I end up back on 'user preferences' once it has finished.

I had the same problem today. I disabled the Chrome Extension "Better Pop Up Blocker" (version 2.1.6) and everything worked again.
