OK so we are experiencing a very strange behavior. We have a view which is called by a panel that serves the homepage content of a site we are designing. The view is an unformatted list of teasers with title linking to the content. So when we log on as the super user or main admin, the links appear to be disabled for that user. If we log out they work for anonymous user, they also work for Authenticated users so long as they are not Administrators. The links that do not work are only on the said view and panel. What could be causing this behavior?

Rebuilding permissions does nothing, nor does cache clearing for site and views. I want to create a bug report but am unsure how to categorize it.

I don't believe Panels or Views has an issue in the code. As both modules have a lot of users count, it's unlikely that a stable version has such "big issue".
Did you try making a Page display for the View and checking it in both admin/anon way ? It could be a Panels issue ?

What's new and changing in PHP 8.4

Try firebug to see how things are displayed .Are they 'a href' of simple text..?
Maybe there is some transparent element over them..

Ok so after further testing and tracing my steps back to the content added to the panel. My last addition included two blocks that only included a link to a longer list of nodes shown in the view above each (also added to the panel as content). My reason for doing this was that the previous view had css rules applied to it giving the node teasers a specific width and floating them left in order to create a fake two column layout (I didn't design the theme), so adding a "view more" link automatically via views to the end of the node list was making the link appear in odd places instead of the end of the said list. This theme is based on Zen.

So as a workaround, I decided to remove the automatic "view more" link from the view and manually placing it on a block, inside a div and added a class that had a css rule of {clear: both;} immediately following the node list. Doing that for some reason made Zen disable all mouse clicking on the views-generated list of node teasers above the link block. Very odd behavior.
