I have a panels page with several panels including some which have had a custom style applied. When logged in as admin, if I right click the panel gears icon and select Settings in the Style section then I correctly see the settings editor for the custom style. If I log out and log in again, except this time with a user that belongs to an admin group that has every single available permission ticked, when I repeat this the popup appears with its loading icon but never shows the settings editor content.

This happens in IE and FireFox. In FireBug I can see the AJAX request seems to go through OK, so it is not waiting on the server.

I'm having the same problem. At first I thought it had something to do with the workstation that was being used, but later learned that if I logged in as user1 it worked, and if I logged in as a user with administrative rights it didn't work.

I can confirm that I have the same problem. Drupal 6.20, Apache 2.2, PHP 5.2.17, using Firefox 5 as well as Safari.

1. Created Panel Node using User 1.
2. Set up custom style
3. Created new role & user with all permissions.
4. Logged in as new user
5. Tried to change style
6. "Style settings" window does not open, "Change style" > "Custom style" does not work, resets styling of all elements.

Maybe the v7 has the same bug?
See #1139340: Need an 'administer panels styles' permission defined for D7.
