<p>Same issue here -- could be a PHP one.  I solved it by increasing the max_nesting_level to something like 200.  Add/edit the following line in your php.ini:</p>

<pre><code>xdebug.max_nesting_level = 200
</code></pre>

<p>I set up an <strong>matrix field</strong> and put it into section type.</p>

<p>If I am trying to create new entry a kind of broken <strong>'Create a new entry'</strong> CP is shown up. Only title 'Create a new entry' and an broken 'save' button. Also rest of header seems not to rendered nice. Horizontal scrollbars appear.</p>

<p>If I change same field to other type, all works as expected.
It really only happens if I am using matrix field.</p>

<p>All happens on fresh setup:
No plugins installed. (Just this one task tried and failed).
Mac, Mamp Pro.
Craft (version 2.5.2757)</p>

<p>Console in Browser says nothing.</p>

<p>What I tried:
 + Fresh installation with user permissions for all craft folders read&amp;write.
 + PHP memory config on 128mb. (Mamp Pro).</p>

<p>UPDATE: <strong>SOLVED</strong> It had something to do with php error settings in Mamp Pro. Once disabled, all is working, also with Matrix.</p>

(Asked by: username_0 on 2016-01-10)

I set up an **matrix field** and put it into section type.

If I am trying to create new entry a kind of broken **'Create a new entry'** CP is shown up. Only title 'Create a new entry' and an broken 'save' button. Also rest of header seems not to rendered nice. Horizontal scrollbars appear.

If I change same field to other type, all works as expected.
It really only happens if I am using matrix field.

All happens on fresh setup:
No plugins installed. (Just this one task tried and failed).

Craft (version 2.5.2757)

Console in Browser says nothing.

What I tried:
+ Fresh installation with user permissions for all craft folders read&write.
+ PHP memory config on 128mb. (Mamp Pro).

UPDATE: **SOLVED** It had something to do with php error settings in Mamp Pro. Once disabled, all is working, also with Matrix.
