If I add content to panels the node alias is reset, which leads to a 404

I am unable to replicate this behavior.

possibly a bug i had already fixed.

I'm still having this problem and I believe I've found at least one compounding factor. I'm using a LAMP stack on Fedora 14, a Drush updated D 7.15 core, CTools 1.0, Panelizer 2.0, and Pathauto 1.1.

I've found that when the URL Alias settings "Update action" are set to "Create a new alias. Delete the old alias." saving changes to the panelized node via the IPE deletes any custom alias and recreates the default alias. Changing the "Update action" to "Do nothing. Leave the old alias intact." stops Panelizer changes from deleting the old alias and creating the default.

As I see it, on the Panelizer side, this would be expected behavior consitent with the expected behavior of the URL Alias setting in Pathauto. Of course, correct me if I'm wrong. I'd rather not change your issue statuses but I think this could be marked "closed (works as designed)" unless anyone can actually reproduce the bug.

I can confirm the issue described in #5. Happens to me as well.

I'm on Panopoly (panopoly-7.x-1.0-rc3) with Panels (7.x-3.3) and Panelizer (7.x-3.1).

It's pretty annoying and I don't think it was designed to work like that. Changes to Panels page should not revert its alias. I would consider it as a bug.

Agree this is a bug described in #6.
The update function in pathauto "Do nothing. Leave the old alias intact." has nothing to do with panelizer, but with pathauto bulkupdate. So this a bug to me.
I use Panelizer (7.x-3.1)

Workflow:
Overwriting content of panelizer on a (customized url alias) node will reset url alias.

I am having the same issue.

This is a bug in pathauto not panelizer. See patch here https://drupal.org/node/936222#comment-7395918

Cheers!

One gotcha to this path, is that you need to save the node once so that the a record gets added to the new pathauto table.
