Can't add field to page content [#1389506]

Not sure this is the right place to post this...if it's not, please advise.

I'm trying to create a new variant for a page (e.g. node_view), when I try to add content, I can add Views, other types (e.g. Page elements > Page title) but as soon as I try to add a field, I select it => formatter options pane, click Continue => Formatter Styles pane, and then when I click on Finish, the "blue wheel" appears for less than a second and nothing happens, no way to validate my field, I have to click on "Close Window" and obviously the field is not added.

I looked at the db logs (Reports > Recent log messages), no error message there, so I was wondering where I could look at to understand what the problem is.

I'm using
Drupal 7.10
Panels 7.x-3.0-alpha3
CTools 7.x-1.0-rc1

I'll be glad to provide more info if needed.

As you may have noticed I'm pretty new to Drupal and I'm kind of stuck here so any help/guidelines for troubleshooting this would be much appreciated.

Again, if this is not the right place for this post, please let me know.

Cheers

Hmm. Check your browser's javascript console? Perhaps a javascript error happened?

This is particularly likely if it's only for specific fields.

Thanks but I forgot to mention that I use firebug and it shows no error either.
And what I described happens with any field (as long as it's a field).

Hello Thelonious Fonk!

What you do seems perfectly correct, and should work, and you have posted in the right place. Unfortunately, since you've actually checked for error messages, I'm not really sure where to take this.
Right now I can only recommend that you try the same thing with a minimal test case. Create a clean install, and try again, preferably on a different host.

Well, if you're using firebug you can look at the AJAX response to the click that leaves you hanging; paste that, maybe there's something in it that will tell us what's wrong.

The weird thing is that it looks like I don't get any response when I click on Finish.
I get an Ajax response for all steps, except the last one POST step2 which corresponds to my click on Finish (cf. snippet attached)

I can try a clean install as well but I'd like to fix this on this platform because I've already done some work on it.

Thanks for your help guys
