One thing I've experienced when trying to open the Attachment Manager window, is if the whole main page hasn't finished loading, when I try and click on the button, the page just finishes loading and sits there as if I never clicked the Attachment Manager button. Once I make sure the page I'm on is finished loading, then I click the Attachment Manager button and it begins to open.
Then I've also found that often the Attachment Manager window takes a little extra time to fully open and be ready to upload files to it compared to how it used to work. For me the Attachment Manager box frequently first display as a solid black rectangle, but after waiting 3-5 seconds or so, it eventually displays correctly so I can follow the process. I also find that it takes several seconds for a file to finish uploading to display in the Attachment Manager files list before trying add another file or to click the "Done" button.
I've not experienced going back to the starting page for the website.
