All my text fields has disabled copy below them, see the attached image. Making them unusable.

I know that the code is correct, because it’s stored in PHP file, so it was not changed.

Downgrading to 5.5.14 works. I hope you could find this bug, it’s a show stopper for me. I can’t upgrade my countless sites if this is not found.

I did a fresh WordPress installation, same bug.

To me this is getting critical point, since all sites are updating to latest version slowyly, all sites ceases functioning in a while.

I found the culprit, if you have a own field e.g. pre 5.6 like this:

class acf_field_mytheme_identifier extends acf_field_text {
    function __construct()
    {
        // vars
        $this->name = 'mytheme_identifier';
        $this->label = MyTheme::_("Identifier");
        $this->category = 'choice';
        $this->defaults = array(
            'default_value'     => "",
            'maxlength' => '',
            'placeholder' => '',
            'prepend' => '',
            'append' => '',
            'readonly' => true,
            'disabled' => 0,
        );
        acf_field::__construct();
    }

it must be now

class acf_field_mytheme_identifier extends acf_field_text {
    function initialize()
         ...
    }

No construct anumore
