I’m not sure why this would happen, especially on the default theme.

I would recommend two things:

1) First, try disabling your plugins to see if that helps at all. If it does, enable one plugin at a time to see which plugin is causing the conflict.

2) If that doesn’t work, try this plugin?

I use it on all my sites, and it’s been great…

Good luck!
