Issue Summary
when editing a panel to override user/%user, every time I selected the layout and put some content in to the columns, updated then hit save, I went back to an empty panel. the selection radio button for the layout was not on any selection and the content was gone. this is since upgrading to the latest dev version. I'm using Chaos tool suite 6.x-1.2.

#1
Are there any errors in the watchdog, php or apache error logs?
#2
sorry, I am limited as to what I can do on my shared virtual hosting, watchdog causes memory problems and i had to disable. no errors appear, message says saved. sorry can't help more, perhaps someone else can replicate?
#3
Be sure to try update.php -- this kind of thing can happen if you didn't update and, for example, do not have the 'title_pane' field in y our database, which was added in, I think, 3.1 (or maybe 3.2).
#4
Same problem here. The results for "Update and Save" are very unpredicatable. Most of the time, the majority of the changes to the content are simply lost. Other times, some content elements are saved, others duplicated and yet others lost. It may happen more often when I reposition elements with drang and drop.
The only more\less reliable way to save is to hit Update, wait for it to finish, then hit Save after every little change.
Nothing weird to report from the logs, either Drupal or system.

We were having the same problem as @Gabriel Radic, basically if you had more than one element of content in a panel region and you saved, every time we added a new element of content, all other elements of content from all other regions would disappear and you would be left with duplicates of the element of content that had just been added. We found no way to get round this so had to revert to the previous version of panels (3.2).
#6
same problem
#7
The problem with the UPdate and Save button is known and fixed in -dev, and if you search the queue you'll even find the issue. The original poster did not mention the update and save button, so I have doubts that what #4 and subsequent posters are talking about is that problem, and in fact constitutes taking over an issue. So please try to be careful when reading issues before you say you have the same problem.
Also, posting just to say "I have the same problem" is useless. Please don't do that. If you have something valuable to add, that is great, but that is not valuable.
THe problems with Update and Save can be worked around by hitting refresh right after you update and save on the content page.

I have the same problem using 6.x-3.3 - and tried upgrading to dev - but it shows all panes as being empty. Luckily reverting to 3.3 brought my panels back up.
I guess I have to wait until 3.4 to see if the issue is fixed :(
#9
I have the same problem, but the dev didn't work at all, everything was gone and this error message appears when I want to create a variant :
There are currently no variants available and a page may not be added. Perhaps you need to install the Panels module to get a variant?
#10
I had trouble saving my custom layout, but finally it appears that I had to use names (for the .inc .css .tpl.php & the title string etc.*) under 32 characters and it's fine back to panels 3.3
*I don't know which one is most important, but when all of them are under 32 cars it works ok.

Versions
Drupal: 6.16
Panels: 6.x-3.3
Ctools: 6.x-1.3
Browsers:
Safari 4.0.5
Chrome 5.0.342.9 beta
Firefox 3.6.3
This bug is very easy to replicate.
1. Create a new panel page
2. Add content and save
3. Modify or add more content and save
4. Watch as the content disappears or is replaced by duplicates of other content.
No errors show up in the server or watchdog log. I'd assume this is a bug with saving the panel content. If you get lucky and the content gets saved properly, then you can update that content fine. If you try adding new content, then it may not actually add, but be replaced with a duplicate of the last content you added.
I did get an error when trying to edit content saying the panel id was invalid, i removed and re-added the content and it worked.
Please investigate this bug as it is making the module almost unusable.
Thank you.

@tseven : very well explained
#13
I ran into this problem today while trying to add a variant to a page node (I hope I am saying that properly). I am attempting to create a layout in panels that all my pages (except the frontpage) use, however, I can't really tell if it works because every time I add content, I end up with all sorts of strange things like content I just added disappearing (even though I saved), multiples of other content I added suddenly appearing, and content I added to one region showing up in another. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for my very non-technical comment- I'm a designer.
#14
same thing happened to me. I was trying to add an existing node to a panel and it kept disappearing. I finally got it to work by keeping the option to show teaser and more, etc. checked. No error in the log.
#15
#11: Please read #7. If you post in this thread without updating to -dev you are WASTING A LOT OF PEOPLE'S TIME.
#16
Oh and one addition: You're all reporting this in the wrong place. When i say -dev I mean CTools, because you're talking about a button that's in Page Manager.
