agree this is a usability issue and we should warn/prevent the user from 
messing up their own work.

As a quick fix I would put a check when switching drag mode to mosaic.  If the 
pano is >180, issue a warning (but still activate mosaic drag mode).  No 
graying out for now.

Longer term it may be worth to determine if the project is

(b) a panorama
(c) undetermined
but this is not as easy as it sounds.

Every project starts undetermined.

X/Y/Z can be used in panoramas (e.g. for the nadir shot of a full spherical)
input > 180° can be used for a mosaic, eg. when a series of equirects shot 
along a street is used to generate a mosaic of the fassade.
