[vekia]

your shop uses override override/controllers/admin/AdminCategoriesController.php

and problem you've got is related to this override.

 

overrides usually are a part of some custom modules that changes the way of how shop core works.

due to this - it will be hard to help because we dont know what module you uses and what code this override contains

same problem for me also. 

 

Thanks to Vekia, i searched and tried to disable those recent modules.

found that black sheep   ...  " Background Switcher "  

 

once i disable this module , problem solved 

 

 

 Please Note: I downloaded that module from Vekia's free modules list in a  comment in a forum thread.
