Cannot configure layout or edit content when using Layout Builder

Problem/Motivation

I cannot configure the layout or edit the content on a page that is using Layout Builder. No options appear when I click on any of the following links: "Add section", "Add block", "Configure Body", or "Configure" within a section. A blue wait icon does show briefly to the right of the links after clicking on it.

I believe it is a theme issue because it worked when I changed the theme to Olivero. It stopped working when I changed it back. I just upgraded to 3.9.0, but had the same results using version 3.8.1.

I'm not sure when this issue started but it was working fine for years until I just noticed it recently.

I receive the same results when:

  • The deprecated module "Layout Builder Expose All Field Blocks" is enabled or disabled
  • "Create new revision" is enabled or disabled

I also verified the following:

  • Use contextual links is checked for user permissions.
  • Under Layout options for that content type, "Use Layout Builder" is checked as well as "Allow each content item to have its layout customized"

    Steps to reproduce

    • Enable Layout Builder
    • Under Manage Display for a content type enable Layout Builder and check "Allow each content item to have its layout customized"
    • Visit a page that uses that content type and click on "Layout"
    • Click on "Add Section" or any other link
    • No dialog box or options appear

    Maybe it's something on my end or I'm missing something. I appreciate any help or looking into it.

    Here is an update in case anyone is reading this. I ran into further trouble with my theme when updating Drupal to 10.4+, and after some digging, discovered that the uswds.css was overriding my sub-theme CSS, possibly related to " Asset ordering is now more strictly determined by library dependencies → ", which was introduced in v10.4.0.

    I solved my issue by editing my libraries.yml file in my sub-theme to add a weight. I also gave a negative weight to the USWDS JavaScript in assets, which fixed issues with the accordion and the gov header. (My USWDS assets are under my-theme/assets.) So now my libraries.yml file looks like this: 

    uswds_assets:
  version: 3.10.0
  css:
    theme:
      assets/uswds/css/uswds.css: {}
  js:
    assets/uswds/js/uswds.min.js: {weight: -1}

custom:
  version: 3.10.0
  css:
    theme:
      css/my-theme.css: {preprocess: false, weight: 1}
  js:
    js/my-theme.js: {}

    However, adding a weight to JS is discouraged, and it is recommended to use dependencies instead. I tried taking the weight off the JS and adding the dependency on the uswds_assets library to my-theme JavaScript. However, when I did that, I got a nice, fat error: "Failed to open stream: No such file or directory in _locale_parse_js_file()". I've also thought about combining the 2 libraries into one, but not sure that will do anything. For now, I'm sticking with the weight.
