I've just updated from Panels-2 to Panels-3. I've run into some theme problems with Ctools. On the Edit Panels Content page, the page loads with all the CTools drop down menus expanded. This happens with my custom theme, but not with the Garland theme.
Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions on how to fix?
thanks

Javascript Errors?
Are you getting any javascript errors when loading the page? If the problem persists, I'd suggest posting an issue on the Ctools issue queue: http://drupal.org/project/issues/ctools
No Javascript error
thanks for the response. I've been debugging with Firebug, and I don't see any javascript errors.
Fresh Install
Does the problem happen with your custom theme on a fresh install of Drupal 6 / Panels 3?
Fresh install - same results
With a fresh install of Drupal, using the same theme yields the same results.
My best guess is that your
My best guess is that your custom theme is overriding theme('item_list') and it's putting in HTML that the dropdown isn't expecting and this is messing up the javascript. I guess I shouldn't have used theme('item_list') there. =(
I will look at item_list
The custom theme does implement dropdown menus for primary links. I'll take a look to see if item_list is being overridden. Thank you.
