After continuously using the latest Panels release, we started encountering errors when adding panes to panels, well, not so much an error as a parsing crash or javascript crash. Instead of adding a block to a pane, it returned with text that appeared as if it were returning syntax rather than adding a block.

We had searched all over the internet and drupal forums that pointed us in several different directions, including Advanced Profile Kit, Javascript crash in Firefox, etc. But we're not utilizing Advanced Profile Kit, the error appears in Google Chrome, IE and Firefox, so it doesn't appear to just be a firefox issue.
We methodically disabled modules and tested panels to isolate the issue and came down to Image Assist, any feedback on this? Has anyone else encountered this problem?

#1
We seemed to have isolated it down to this function:
Drupal.theme.prototype.img_assist_link = function(el) {var html = '<div class="img_assist-button">', link = Drupal.t('Add image');
if (Drupal.settings.img_assist.link == 'icon') {
link = '<img src="'+ Drupal.settings.basePath + Drupal.settings.img_assist.icon +'" alt="'+ link +'" title="'+ link +'" />';
}
html += '<a href="'+ Drupal.settings.basePath +'index.php?q=img_assist/load/textarea&textarea='+ el.name +'" class="img_assist-link" id="img_assist-link-'+ el.id +'" title="'+ Drupal.t('Click here to add images') +'" onclick="window.open(this.href, \'img_assist_link\', \'width=600,height=350,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no\'); return false;">'+ link +'</a>';
html += '</div>';
return html;
}
when this is commented out, image assist can be enabled and we can safely add blocks to panes
#2
adding a Try/Catch seems to fix the error:
Drupal.theme.prototype.img_assist_link = function(el) {var html;
try{
html = '<div class="img_assist-button">', link = Drupal.t('Add image');
if (Drupal.settings.img_assist.link == 'icon') {
link = '<img src="'+ Drupal.settings.basePath + Drupal.settings.img_assist.icon +'" alt="'+ link +'" title="'+ link +'" />';
}
html += '<a href="'+ Drupal.settings.basePath +'index.php?q=img_assist/load/textarea&textarea='+ el.name +'" class="img_assist-link" id="img_assist-link-'+ el.id +'" title="'+ Drupal.t('Click here to add images') +'" onclick="window.open(this.href, \'img_assist_link\', \'width=600,height=350,scrollbars=yes,status=yes,resizable=yes,toolbar=no,menubar=no\'); return false;">'+ link +'</a>';
html += '</div>';
} catch {}
return html;
}

Both #459004: JS error with panels and image_assist both enabled and #412664: Strange error everytime I try to add content, in Garland as well have been marked as duplicate of this issue.
#4
This seems to work for me too. It also makes the "input formats" field expandable for me (previously, this wasn't even a link, and I couldn't change it).
#5
On the panels page do you get a js error in firefox that says "Drupal.settings.img_assist is not defined"?
If so this is possibly the same issue as #428950: Javascript error when editing views or panels.
#6
no, I don't get that error Justin. Probably a different bug.
#7
FYI this still seems to be an issue with Panels 3. but disabling image attach seems to work.
#8
This patch tested by me and works fine, thanx the work.
I maded a patch file, so if somebody want use it its simple.
#9
Sorry my last post. The patch isn't work, fix this bug, but if use image_assist icon will disapear from edit screens.
