Found the fix
If you install teh time mod in 1.6 stable it kills editing a ticket and also replying with a canned response. If you use WilliamM's class.ticket.php (in the other thread) you can get the edit Ticket functionality back. To fix the canned response you must edit viewticket.inc.php on or around line 399
onChange="getCannedResponse(this.options.value,this.form, 'response');this.selectedIndex='0';" >
**, 'response'** was removed from the code for some reason. After it is replaced you are golden.
