I cannot confirm on Win7 and Linux.

Might be a plugin issue?

with any project, even starting from scratch? any specific step to replicate?

No any specific steps to reproduce. I am create empty project and then create composer with empty title. Then i'm add the text item to layout. That's all: variables pane of the text item is empty and read only.

Tested again on 3 different opearating systems, no problems whatsoever here.

At this point a screencast would help... but all points to be a local issue.
