Front end editing fails in Joomla 3.3.4 upgraded from 3.3.3

I have 2 sites in Joomla 3.3.4 upgraded from 3.3.3

Both have issues with front end editing in both 3.3.3 and 3.3.4

1. live site - disallows front end login by super admin and says:" Error You are not authorised to view this resource." It shows the "edit icon" . When I click it takes me to back end Module Manager: Module Custom HTML> Image Custom -HTML page.

This is weird.

Could this work as an exploit vulnerability??

I did not alter permissions on either.

Back end editing works of course or I would not have been able to develop.

1. I loaded a new untouched 3.3.4 live but these issues did not present. Front end editing appears to work ok.

Both using using Protostar Template.

Not sure if it is a bug or I'm missing something?
