If you create a view pane in panels views and then change the name of the views module view on which the panels view is based, the panels view will no longer work. This makes sense because the view pane references the view by its name.

Views does not provide any warning that the action could cause problems with a panel view pane.

When the user is looking at the list of panel view panes there is no indication that a view pane is broken due to the renaming (or deletion) of the view on which it is based.

It seems like at the very least panels views should indicate that a view pane has been broken by the renaming if the view on which it is based and allow the user to select the view by its new name to fix the view pane.

Title: Renaming or removing a view in views breaks paels view version without any indication » panels_views break if you rename source view
Version: 5.x-2.0-beta5 » 5.x-2.x-dev

I've run into this as well, iirc you can't change the name of the view in panel_views either, so have to delete an rebuild from scratch.
