[JENKINS-51983] Cannot save Jenkins Configrations - Fresh Install

[timja]

• Issue: 
  • Installed new Jenkins Version on a clean OS

• • Installed "recommended" plug-ins

• • After installation navigated to the Configuration Screen, and no matter what changes I entered, I received an error message via the browser "TypeError" e.getAttribute not a function" "Form Not Saved"
    **
• Impact: Cannot begin to configure Jenkins environment as desired / needed.

• Additional info: 
  • The issue only seems to impact Google Chrome. Confirmed 6/18 that I can use FireFox to utilize my Jenkins instance.
  • Attempted to search for other / common issues online and have found a number of them open / unresolved since 2013, and have no current info on how to resolve, and am seeking assistance / insights.

IIUC it is a Javascript issues. Would it be possible to get a full stacktrace of the issue?
E.g. you can enable the development mode in your browser and reopen the page, error will be shown in the error console
