  Watch out for themes or plugins that use Backbone.JS calls. They seem to be causing some issues right now. One such theme is Salient.
  
  The JetPack plugin also seems to be suffering from the same problems. (Search the StackExchange for backbone and you'll see a few different threads.)
  
  The Virtue theme has styling issues.
  
  Twenty Fourteen provides good displays.
