AE glitches out of composition when I click on effect in effects panel

When I apply an effect to a layer and then go to the effects panel to modify parameters of said effect, AE glitches to a different layer as soon as I touch the effect and often even jumps out of the composition to a layer in another composition if I have multiple compositions in the project. I always have to watch carefully if the selected layer is the one showing in the effects panel. The only way I can manage to modify the effects is if I lock the effects panel to the selected layer. As soon as I unlock the effects panel again it glitches to another layer and composition. It's extremely time consuming. Please help.

1. AE version 24.1.0

2. Windows 11 Pro 23H2

3. Click on effect in effects panel

4. Expect to be able to modify parameter of effect, instead it glitches to a different effect on a different layer

In the latest version of AE this problem seems to be getting even worse. Now it happens with sometimes nothing more than a scroll up/down or clicking "File" in the menu-bar.

if we're gonna be your bugtesters, you should be paying us, not the other way around.
CS6 was WAY more stable, and you didn't have users to bugtest for you guys. There's a reason I still default to it. At this point I'm starting to feel really bad for the devs. I would despise being made to upkeep such a mess.

When i click on a layer, the effect control panel is there, but does not display anything. It only displays the title of a random layer that is not even selected. I have tried locking and unlocking it, but playing around with it doesn't seem to do anything. It seems that I can only open and adjust layers that aren't selected in the effect controls panel.

SOME TIMES, the correct layer name of my selected layer is displayed, but there are no controls that I can view at all in the effect controls panel. The panel itself appears to be blank.

I tried updating and then reinstalling the app, but no changes. This issue has been persisting for a few hours.

Guys please! This issue has persisted for far over a year and it's one of the most annoying bugs to have right now. Screen recordings were shared and the devs have been able to reproduce it. Can you please provide an update on this issue? It's terrible to work with, especially with that price tag Adobe puts on products.

Hi all,

Thank you for letting us know this is still occurring for you in 24.3 and 24.4. We have been able to reproduce it in those versions as well and are now investigating a second fix.

Thanks again,

- John, After Effects Engineering Team
