I've been trying to create a Panel page with additional views defined for if arguments are present. I create a new Panel Page, select the layout, and add two Taxonomy arguments, specifying that they will have their own displays. When I go to the other pages where these displays should be listed, Panels is still acting as if I've only got the default display.

A single time tonight, the interface gave me the tab buttons for the alternate displays. I added content to them and they functioned just as they should when I views the page with and without args. The next time I went in to edit, though, the buttons to access the additional displays were gone again. So far I haven't been able to see them again, either in the same Panel Page, or when creating a new one.

I've narrowed things down a little further. I can get the other displays to appear in the UI if I have a % sign in the path. The arguments still work without the % in the path, but I don't get their alternate displays. This is a problem because I had planned to have the default display at "page", an alternate display at "page/%" and an alternate at "page/%/%".

When I create a path like "page/%", the standard version with no argument stops functioning as a path. I had hoped to not have to create a bunch of separate panel pages for these; does anyone have any idea what's going on?

Found a workaround for the issue:
If I add the '/%' to the end of the path, I can edit the additional displays. Then when I'm done, I can remove '/%' and all of the displays can be viewed, though I can't see them in the Panel Pages admin area. It's annoying to have to edit things this way, but it's better than not being able to use alternate panel displays.

Panels 2 is no longer available and is unsupported. Marking all Panels 2 issues won't fix.
