Research direction

Start with the reproducer in src/env.rs around the reported line and run env::test::ndarray_into_shape_test. Compare the memory layouts of the contiguous array and the sliced view before into_shape((3, 1)). Done means explaining why the same Rust type behaves differently and resolving or clearly documenting the incompatible-layout behavior.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

       let d = aview1(&[1., 2., 3., 4.]);

        let d = d.into_shape((2, 2)).unwrap();
        println!("d shape {:?}", &d.shape());

        let a = array![
            [110., 120., 130., 140.,],
            [210., 220., 230., 240.,],
            [310., 320., 330., 340.,],
        ];

        let a = a.slice(s![.., 1]);

        let a = a.into_shape((3, 1)).unwrap();
        println!("a {:?}", &a);
        println!("a shape {:?}", &a.shape());

Both d and a is same type but panic occurs.
Is there any reason why they behave differently?
(slice_mut, slice_move, clone() also shows same error)
