Hi there,
I've been experiencing exactly the same problem you have.
I have a workaround while we wait for the fix to be applied - hopefully it will come soon!!
I add the following scriptmanager tag to each of my .ascx pages which has AJAX on them.
asp:ScriptManager runat="server" ID="scriptmanager" There is a caveat however (isn't there always?) :)
This only works for AJAX custom written for the module.
AJAX which is built into the framework - e.g. For which you tick the box
supports partial renderings in module settings - still do not work.
I guess if you put the ScriptManager tag into the .ascx pages for the built in modules it might work - but I haven't tried it myself.
regards
