Some critical functionality of Apple's new icloud.com web UI are broken by Ghostery 1.2.0 in Safari, notably editing/creating details in calendar events and reminders. There may be other functions -- I haven't checked.
Additionally, based on the scripts being blocked, it would appear that the detection is a false positive (unless I've missed something). Ghostery wants to block "Econda" http://www.ghostery.com/apps/econda on icloud.com and from looking at the icloud calendar web app in Safari's web inspector, I don't see any evidence of Econda.
The workaround is to disable Ghostery on icloud.com. Since this (perhaps false) Econda is the only one being blocked there, there doesn't appear to be further side effects of leaving icloud unblocked.
Also: thanks for Ghostery.

Hi Steve, thanks for using Ghostery.
Could you please paste the findings of Ghostery -- specifically script it suspects that was Econda so we could take a look? Thanks!Comment -

1Thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, there's no way to copy out the address of the blocked script from the browser popup:
- Address displayed in the popup is "https://www.icloud.com/applications..." with no way to get at what the ellipsis replaces.
- Clicking on the address of the script in the browser popup takes me to "http://www.ghostery.com/gcache/? [very long parameters]" where I get an Internal Server Error instead of information about the blocked script.
Anyway, I'm attaching a screen shot of the Ghostery browser popup as displayed on that page, with the address of the blocked script displayed as a mouseover tool tip. If you examine that script you see it has nothing to do with Econda (again, unless I've missed something). However, the string "econda" appears in the script file many times, as part of the word "secondary."
I would attach the script itself, but the comments in the file's header reference the iCloud ToS and I don't want to get thrown out on my first day ;)
When you investigate please keep in mind that this was from inside the calendar module and that you'll probably need to be logged into an iCloud account. Judging by the path of the script file, you may also need to set EN-US as your locale, although I don't see a way to do that from inside the iCloud UI.
Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help.

Incidentally, to reproduce the problem:
1. Click the "+" icon at lower-right to create a new event
2. The new event appears in the calendar, but the popup in which you can write in the details does not.
3. In Ghostery settings, disable blocking on icloud.com. Save. Reload iCloud calendar.
4. Repeat step 1.
5. Compare with step 2. -

1Hi Steve, thanks for following up with me.
Looks like our econda tracker was a bit overzealous. I've edited it not to include things like /sECONDAry/*.js that triped up icloud.com. The new pattern will be distributed starting tomorrow, so make sure to update your trackers and you should be good to go. Thanks! -

I just got the new list and changed my setting for blocking on icloud.com. Your fix works. Thanks for taking care of this so promptly.

My pleasure. Let me know if you run into any other issues with Ghostery.
