Help Troubleshoot Publish Layouts

Publish Layouts in ExpressionEngine are a great idea. But they haven’t been reliable for a lot of people…myself included. As I read through the Twitter streams about ExpressionEngine I see a lot of comments about having to reset Publish Layouts after an upgrade, after removing fields and more.

Marcus Neto of EllisLab put out a call to get some more bug reports and steps to reproduce:

If you’ve had issues with Publish Layouts, are your issues related to a specific bug report? I’d love to help get them fixed. #eecms

@marcusneto a train of thought is to put new fields and tabs at end of existing publish layout and keep existing layout intact as possible. @marcusneto likewise, a mechanism to catch removed fields (insert placeholder maybe?) and warn the user that layout needs adjustment.
