  'Node' panes can have two titles or have two title areas.

  Cause: 

    Content that comes into a pane is already formatted, and this happens

    in theme('node'). theme('node') assumes it will be printing a title

    most of the time. However, Panels wants the titles of panes to be

    consistent, so it removes the title from the node to prevent your

    node.tpl.php from printing it. The result is often an empty h2 which

    has odd effects.

  Solution:

    Add an if statement to your node.tpl.php to prevent printing that h2

    if $node->title is empty.

  Internet Explorer is really bad about making the rightmost panel

  fall beneath the others.

  Cause:

    Internet explorer calculates margins and padding differntly from

    everyone else, and this makes it entirely too easy for widths

    to add up to greater than the amount of allotted space, despite

    using percentage widths.

  Solution:

    There are two solutions to this problem:

    1) In your theme, try to eliminate padding from the the <div>

       that directly contains your content; you can do this by

       adding an empty <div> inside it that surrounds the content

       and very specifically is set to margin: 0 and padding: 0

    2) if that doesn't work, override the widths of the panel-panel

       divs and reduce them by 1 or 2%; usually this will give IE

       enough space to quit pushing things around.

  TinyMCE, FCKEditor and other wysiwyg editors really blow up on Panels

  content editing.

  Cause:

    The modal dialogs that Panels uses are very particular about javascript

    and these editors are too much for them. Also, these editors get

    cranky about complicated forms with several text areas.

  Solution:

    Disable these editors on all of your panels admin pages. The important

    URLs are admin/panels/* and panels/ajax/*. More details instructions

    may follow if someone familiar with these systems submits a patch at

    the above drupal.org URL.

  The rounded corners style shows up as just a small graphic rather than

  a full box around the panels as it shoujld.

  Cause:

    The rounded corners CSS relies on the ID for the panel, but the ID is

    optional.

  Solution:

    Make sure your panel has an ID of some sort. With mini panels there is

    no easy workaround as mini panels currently do not have IDs of their

    own.

  You see a message similar to this:

  Table 'drupal.panels_info' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM panels_info 

  WHERE path = 'front_page_new' in...

  The important piece of information is 'panels_info'.

  Cause:

    The Meta Tags module (also known as nodewords.module) directly reads the

    the panels tables and modifies its forms to add the tags. Unfortunately

    for this module, Panels has changed *greatly* in the leap from 1.0 to

    2.0 and the tables aren't the same. However, the nodewords module doesn't

    yet know this. Look in the nodewords issue queue for panels patches and

    you should find something.

  The drag and drop content UI doesn't seem to work at all under Safari.

  Cause:

    Safari 2 has some serious problems with the javascript code.

  Solution:

    Upgrade to Safari 3 if possible. If not, use an an alternative browser

    such as Firefox or Opera.

  When using the secure pages module, the Panels administrative UI gives 

  unhelpful "An error occurred" popups when trying to add or edit content.

  Cause:

    The secure pages module tries to move the entire administrative section

    of the site to HTTPS, but Panels' AJAX calls are using a path that

    secure pages doesn't know about. When trying to make non-secure ajax calls

    from a secure page, the browser denies the call.

  Solution:

    The solution is to simply add panels/* to your Secure Pages configuration.
