Hello.  
I was searching similar issue but didn't find any.  
When i click button called "Layout editor" in sidebar i get warning: "Unable to begin layout editor".  
I tried full deploy, lock and unlock groups and so on, add spacers, add path to page.  
Has anyone had this problem?  
Version node red: 4.0.5  
Version @flowfuse/node-red-dashboard: 1.24.0  
Thanks for help

Browser settings? Your browser might be blocking the opening of a new window/tab for the layout editor.

Open the browser developer console, refresh the page, and look for errors there.
