The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.I don't know how to report it, but... had this issue with few last versions of -dev.
Once I make some existing custom content pane (Eccp) into reusable Custom content pane (Rccp) and add that Rccp to other page...
- on page where Eccp was originally Rccp from them has lost form under GEAR > EDIT > only FINISH and CANCEL buttons are shown in all modal window
- on page where i put newly created Rccp EDIT menu item under GEAR is missing at all
- other custom content panes seems to be turned into some other pane type - instead of EDIT menu item there is SETTINGS menu item which do not allow me to change anything in custom content, looks like edit page for views - only override title is in that form
- everythings seems to work at admin/build/ctools-content - Rccp is saved and everything in form is shown, but changing things here does not show in panels UI on pages
- tried with newly created Rccp, placed in other page, same problems.
- tried creating completely new Rccp in admin/build/ctools-content, placed on first page, no EDIT menu item under GEAR (maybe this is very bad by design?)

merlinofchaos commentedOk, when you select a content pane for re-use, the administration of that content is not supposed to be available from the pane any longer, but instead should be administered from the reusable content administration list. (Sorry, either way you do it causes confusion, but letting you administer reusable content from the pane is more code AND confusing when you change it there and it's change somewhere else too).
So the appearance of the Edit link on the pane where you made it reusable is probably a bug, though I think that's actually difficult to fix.
The naming of the item as "Edit" is new; it used to always be settings, but a minor new feature of CTools 1.7 is that content types can control the naming of that link, so content panes are now 'Edit'. Everything else, like Views, are called "Settings".

henrijs.seso commentedSo there is 2 problems
- Edit menu item must go away for reusable panes (well... its not there for page with no variants... ehh.. its just seems random, more testing needed for me)
- Reusable panes reads pane info wrong from admin/build/ctools-content list* (see attached images)
* I changed administrative title of reusable pane in admin/build/ctools-content and it shows correct title while choosing reusable content from list in pages modal UI but shows old title in pane on page

merlinofchaos commentedFixed in -dev. THis required changes to both Panels and CTools, which means bumping the required CTools API on Panels, so you must update both.
