Sorry, I cannot replicate what you are seeing on my environment which is:

Joomla 1.5.22 or Joomla 1.6.1
CB 1.4
Default templates.

I have the same issue, and as nant pointed out, it was related to the template that is also using jQuery. In my case it was using a different version (1.3 rather than 1.5).

So I tried the following:
1) Replace the template jQuery.min.js file with the one from com_profiler - DID NOT WORK
2) Removed the one in the template folder - CB worked great!, but rest menus for website DID NOT WORK
3) Tried entering "<script type="text/javascript">jQuery.noConflict();</script>" prior to the script load of the template jQuery js file - DID NOT WORK

So, obviously the problem is conflicting jQuery file loads. Can any of the jQuery experts out there give any guidence? :unsure:

Here is a workaround (although not pretty):

In the template php file that loads the jQuery file, replace the following:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" 
src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->document->template ?>/js/jquery.min.js">
</script>

with the following:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript">
//Check for jQuery already loaded
if (typeof jQuery == 'undefined') {   
   var loc = window.location.href.substring(0,(window.location.href.lastIndexOf("/")) + 1);
   var head = document.getElementsByTagName("head")[0]; 
   script = document.createElement('script'); 
   script.id = 'jQuery'; 
   script.type = 'text/javascript'; 
   script.src = loc + 'templates/templatename/js/jquery.min.js'; 
   head.appendChild(script); 
} else { 
    // jQuery is loaded already need not include it...
}
</script>

I'm sure there is a cleaner way to do this with php so that the template path does not have to be hardcoded.

Found a cleaner way provided by an expert over at JoomlaShack:

Replace the following:

Code:

<script type="text/javascript" 
src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/<?php echo $this->document->template ?>
/js/jquery.min.js">
</script>

with the following:

Code:

<?php if (JRequest::getVar('option', '') != 'com_comprofiler') : ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $this->baseurl ?>/templates/
<?php echo $this->document->template ?>/js/jquery.min.js"></script>
<?php endif; ?>
