On my test system, the issue is caused by the use of Suhosin. In the earlier versions mentioned above, the limit on the length of a POST variable name and request variable in general are both 64 characters.
When the number of rows or the length of the action variable exceeds 64 characters, it is discarded by PHP and the JSON request is unable to do anything. The solution for my system was to set both suhosin.request.max_varname_length = 128 suhosin.post.max_name_length = 128 in /etc/php5/conf.d/suhosin.ini. In later versions of PHP, suhosin is uninstalled by default, causing the problem to go away. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Mahara Contributors, which is subscribed to Mahara.

To view the site I am using a Mac OS Laptop with Chrome Version 30.0.1599.69. When using the "create custom layout" feature I have multiple problems: - The preview only is displayed correctly for 1 - 3 rows, after adding the fourth row the preview doesn't update anymore - When adding a custom layout with up to 3 rows, the layout gets added to the other layout options. Adding a 4 row layout does work, but there is just a default thumb, not a picture of the layout. - Even though I can add up to 6 rows the adding of custom layouts with 5 or 6 rows doesn't work at all. I attached a screenshot of the problems.
