I'm able to reproduce this on Mac OS X using Chrome and Safari. A
workaround is to use Firefox instead.

The issue is related to the RPC content type in GWT 1.4 which
is "text/plain". The controller service throws the following exception when
handling a request from Chrome or Safari:

{{{
javax.servlet.ServletException: Content-Type must be 'text/plain'
with 'charset=utf-8' (or unspecified charset)
at
com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RemoteServiceServlet.readPayloadAsUtf8(RemoteServiceServlet.java:
119)
at
com.google.gwt.user.server.rpc.RemoteServiceServlet.doPost(RemoteServiceServlet.java:
178)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java: 738)
at javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java: 831)
...
}}}

Upgrading to the latest GWT (version 2.0.4) fixes the issue, but it's
incompatible with the legacy Google Maps GWT module currently in use by BG
client code. A potential fix is refactoring for the official Google Maps
GWT module.

Tested that expected functionality works in Safari and Chrome, and that
projects also open and function correctly in these browsers. Ready for
deployment as version 1.2.5 to bg.berkeley.edu/latest.
