Insert link in editor breaks

[mhjb]

When simple-slideshow is enabled, the Insert/edit link button on the toolbar in the pages & posts editing screens no longer works properly. The 'Enter the destination URL' dialogue box shows up below the bottom left of the screen (so you have to scroll down), and you can't exit that dialogue box without refreshing the page (cancel doesn't work).

Adding links works fine as soon as the slideshow plugin is disabled. I'm on WordPress 3.5.1.

Any clues?
