   3    'Node' panes can have two titles or have two title areas.
   4    Cause: 
   5      Content that comes into a pane is already formatted, and this happens
   6      in theme('node'). theme('node') assumes it will be printing a title
   7      most of the time. However, Panels wants the titles of panes to be
   8      consistent, so it removes the title from the node to prevent your
   9      node.tpl.php from printing it. The result is often an empty h2 which
  10      has odd effects.
  11    Solution:
  12      Add an if statement to your node.tpl.php to prevent printing that h2
  13      if $node->title is empty.

  16    Internet Explorer is really bad about making the rightmost panel
  17    fall beneath the others.
  18    Cause:
  19      Internet explorer calculates margins and padding differntly from
  20      everyone else, and this makes it entirely too easy for widths
  21      to add up to greater than the amount of allotted space, despite
  22      using percentage widths.
  23    Solution:
  24      There are two solutions to this problem:
  25      1) In your theme, try to eliminate padding from the the <div>
  26         that directly contains your content; you can do this by
  27         adding an empty <div> inside it that surrounds the content
  28         and very specifically is set to margin: 0 and padding: 0
  29  
  30      2) if that doesn't work, override the widths of the panel-panel
  31         divs and reduce them by 1 or 2%; usually this will give IE
  32         enough space to quit pushing things around.

  35    TinyMCE, FCKEditor and other wysiwyg editors really blow up on Panels
  36    content editing.
  37    Cause:
  38      The modal dialogs that Panels uses are very particular about javascript
  39      and these editors are too much for them. Also, these editors get
  40      cranky about complicated forms with several text areas.
  41    Solution:
  42      Disable these editors on all of your panels admin pages. The important
  43      URLs are admin/panels/* and panels/ajax/*. More details instructions
  44      may follow if someone familiar with these systems submits a patch at
  45      the above drupal.org URL.

  48    The rounded corners style shows up as just a small graphic rather than
  49    a full box around the panels as it shoujld.
  50    Cause:
  51      The rounded corners CSS relies on the ID for the panel, but the ID is
  52      optional.
  53    Solution:
  54      Make sure your panel has an ID of some sort. With mini panels there is
  55      no easy workaround as mini panels currently do not have IDs of their
  56      own.

  59    You see a message similar to this:
  60    Table 'drupal.panels_info' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM panels_info 
  61    WHERE path = 'front_page_new' in...
  62  
  63    The important piece of information is 'panels_info'.
  64    Cause:
  65      The Meta Tags module (also known as nodewords.module) directly reads the
  66      the panels tables and modifies its forms to add the tags. Unfortunately
  67      for this module, Panels has changed *greatly* in the leap from 1.0 to
  68      2.0 and the tables aren't the same. However, the nodewords module doesn't
  69      yet know this. Look in the nodewords issue queue for panels patches and
  70      you should find something.

  73    The drag and drop content UI doesn't seem to work at all under Safari.
  74  
  75    Cause:
  76      Safari 2 has some serious problems with the javascript code.
  77    Solution:
  78      Upgrade to Safari 3 if possible. If not, use an an alternative browser
  79      such as Firefox or Opera.

  82    When using the secure pages module, the Panels administrative UI gives 
  83    unhelpful "An error occurred" popups when trying to add or edit content.
  84  
  85    Cause:
  86      The secure pages module tries to move the entire administrative section
  87      of the site to HTTPS, but Panels' AJAX calls are using a path that
  88      secure pages doesn't know about. When trying to make non-secure ajax calls
  89      from a secure page, the browser denies the call.
  90    Solution:
  91      The solution is to simply add panels/* to your Secure Pages configuration.
