Cannot edit my views.. I get a JSON string? I'm using Drupal v7.22 and whenever I try to Modify the Display on views, and press the 'Add and configure' button on adding a field, or any button that sends data to the server, the page reloads and I just get a long JSON String returned in Chrome, or IE will try to download the return...  Sometimes it'll accept my change, but more often than not, it won't.

It was doing this on 7.21 and then I updated to 7.22 and it stopped for a day or two, now it's doing it again.  I am extremely new to Drupal, but I am a quick learner and most things are going smoothly.

What did I break and how can I fix it?
Based on @Clive's suggestion in the comments, I found this issue:
JQuery Update breaks Views UI

So Views UI is not compatible with jQuery 1.8, and the OP has already confirmed that this was the problem.

This problem isn't limited to Views though. Other contrib modules depend on the default core version of jQuery (including Rules). An issue exists in the jQuery Update queue to Allow different version for administrative pages. And a patch was applied to dev on 20 MAR 2013.

The dev version of jQuery Update provides a update to the Configuration Form that allows you to select a different version of jQuery on administrative pages.

Before


After


I can confirm that setting the "Alternate jQuery version for administrative pages" select list to "1.5" after upgrading to the dev version of jQuery Update fixes the issue with Views.
