Not unexpectly, the highly intensive IPE breaks down when the underlying dom render changes. Panels_tabs module is unusable with an IPE display rendered page.

I think this problem is two fold. One, it seems that the IPE adds panes to a panel. That confuses the panel_tabs module and probably other renderers. This seems to be able to be added to the $output (as opposed to $panes) if the javascript could accomidate it.

<?php
100     // Wrap the placeholder in some guaranteed markup.
101     $panes['empty_placeholder'] = '<div class="panels-ipe-placeholder panels-ipe-on panels-ipe-portlet-marker panels-ipe-portlet-static">' . $empty_ph . "</div>";
?>

Secondly, if IPE was to allow region styles to rerender themselves when entering editing mode that could allow the region styles to rerender themselves with the ipe renderer? Or perhaps IPE might need to be vicious and rerender each pane with it's own renderer when it is editing.

As the panels_tabs maintainer, I'm interested in feedback on this issue so i can work out the best way to resolve this issue.

It sounds like this issue could still be relevant, despite it's age. I would however like to hear some feedback from anyone still experiencing this, as several versions of Panels has since been released. If it's still an issue, I will try and get someone with IPE knowledge to take a look at it.
