WP_Customize_Manager::remove_panel was called incorrectly

[lmartins]

Hi,

I've started to get a lot of PHP notices related to Note which event though they are only notices, they seem to be preventing the user from navigating the site within the customizer.

Full stack trace:

Hi @lmartins,

We came across this bug/notice during testing last week. We're looking to have a fix released soon (hopefully today).

Thank you for reporting it to us and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Hi @lmartins

We just pushed version 1.4.1 to WordPress.org. The update should start to come through to your sites within a few hours.

https://github.com/sdsweb/note/commit/06ee199309894c1c41a535db4c165cfdfe8eaa2d

Thanks again.

Thank you also for the help and feedback @scottsousa . Best.
