After updating the module to 2.0.6 or above from 2.0.4 (and core 10.3.1 or above), when I attempt to edit/delete a layout paragraph, instead of a modal opening to either make the edits or to confirm the deletion, instead a new page loads and presents either the form to edit or to confirm the deletion, but clicking Delete or Save does nothing the first time it is clicked. This error appears when I click it a second time. If I go back to 2.0.4 (and don't change anything else), it once again works as expected (modal opens and I can successfully edit or delete within the modal).

I was also experiencing this issue, with a similar error message. What I found is that it was only happening for users with a restricted user role, eg. my 'content editor' role. If I try and delete the paragraphs using my user 1 'admin' role, then it works fine.

Using a process of elimination I've found that if I grant the 'content editor' the following permission, then they are able to delete the paragraph content items.

System
Link to any page
Warning: Give to trusted roles only; this permission has security implications. This allows to bypass access checking when linking to internal paths.

Incidentally I'm using the Gin admin theme, in case that has any bearing on things.

I'm experiencing this issue for non-admin users if they try to edit certain paragraphs. We're using 2.1.3.
