White screen after some second in a page using a wysywyg editor Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'scrollTop' of null [#1363846]

When trying to set input format properties at page admin/settings/wysiwyg/profile/5/edit
Or in a node creation or modification form containing a wysywyg field the error occured.
After 20s, the screen become white, but the html structure in firebug is still present;
When looking at the console, I see some javascript error

I use wysywig module and CKE EDITOR but it occcur with other like tiny MCE.
I've tried to change the theme it's not the culprit, nor the editor.
I've installed recently html purifier, but when desctivating it, it does'nt solve the problem.
My error console of chrome output this
Uncaught TypeError: Cannot set property 'display' of undefined
o.fn.extend.hidejquery.min.js:19
o.fx.stepjquery.min.js:19
Fjquery.min.js:19
(anonymous function)jquery.min.js:19

I have tried to see where this function was called but I've not found.

I've seen several similar issue in the issue queue, but there are either old (where the patches suppose to have been patched)
or for d7 http://drupal.org/node/922436

http://drupal.org/node/794698
http://drupal.org/node/593008 For this I've checked it's commited l 210 of wysiwyg.js

How could I debug this ?

Do you have jQuery update installed? (It has jquery.min.js)
Please try disabling it temporarily, I've seen some scripts behaving strangely when encountering certain jquery versions.
If possible, try with the regular (uncompressed) version of jQuery from jquery_update/replace to get a better backtrace (please paste it in <code></code> tags to keep formatting).
If you have any jQuery-related browser extensions enabled, disable them to avoid interference. Also make sure the page only adds one set of jQuery tags. Do other browsers report the same error?

I doubt those other issues are related. They have the same or simlar types of errors, but with different causes. We usually create patches for the latest version and backport any bug fixes to earlier versions of Wysiwyg. (The D5 version only gets critical fixes.)
