Answers.Text: I have cleared the CiviCRM cache and my browser cache. The problem persists: I can preview the multiple-choice fields but the window for editing multiple choice options is empty. I think I've made a mistake in creating the Custom Names.

Comments.Text: This problem persists. Yesterday I created a new Custom Field Set and entered multiple choice custom names with no problem. Today I find that I can't edit the multiple choice options because they are not visible in the edit window. The behaviour of the multiple choice option seems top have changed overnight. I also found that I cannot create a new multiple choice name in that field set because the field for entering the new options aren't appearing (but they were appearing yesterday).

Comments.Text: To add data to the symptoms of this problem - when the fields are first created, they appear normally in the edit box but if you close the edit box and reopen, all you get is the window with nothing in it.
