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

Hello,

I have macOS Ventura (haven't updated to Sonoma yet, maybe I should...) and AE 24.3 downloaded and this bug is still coming up from time to time.

Just wanted to let you know.

the upgrade did not fix this problem for me. it seems to crop up after working for a while. a full reboot of my machine sometimes fixes it temporarily but it comes back. I can not find any pattern as to when it decides to happen other than its more common in large projects.

@Erik Patak, @Image Republic,

If possible, share a screen recording of the issue. Also, try running After Effects in Safe Mode with the third-party plug-ins disabled. Here's how: https://community.adobe.com/t5/after-effects-discussions/how-to-troubleshoot-startup-issues-in-after-effects-using-the-startup-repair-options/td-p/13866327

We're here to help.

Thanks,

Still happening in 24.3 for me as well. Looks like I'm back to 2023 AE... Fresh install. Happens when I drag an effect onto a layer or when I click into the effects controls window. Jumps me into a pre-comp.

Sorry to hear that you're still getting the issue in the latest version.

Do you mind sharing a screen recording so that we can understand it better? Are there any third-party plug-ins installed? Are you able to reproduce it on a new project?

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,

Nishu
