"Edit source" button doesn't work while in Visual Editor

Hello. For some time now I have been having the problem where all the sudden when I try to click on "edit source" or "Source Editor" while in Visual Editor, it does nothing, in fact nothing loads. Sometimes it will give you the prompt: Invalid response from server.

Also I have the problem where now whenever I try to save long written articles the article will start saving and then prompt with: "server didn't respond in time"

I have updated the response time to being longer than was before and it sometimes works but usually does not and just gives that prompt.

This is on Mediawiki 1.40 btw.

Was there a cause or solution found for this? I am seeing the same behavior. Although I do not see any prompts. It just does nothing when trying to switch from "Visual editing" to "Source editing"

No I have not been able to figure this one out. Maybe it is because of something like having the Nimbus skin or some extension I have installed. Idk its really weird and annoying. Ill have to look into my extensions list and trouble shoot to see which one is maybe the culprit. Also I tried updating MediaWiki and VisualEditor and neither thing fixed it.
