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

    FYI I always keep the Effect Controls panel open next to the Project panel. While a layer is selected, if I switch to another Comp and I click in the Effect Controls panel (either in the empty space or on an effect being displayed) the Timeline goes back to the previous Comp (with the selected Layer).

     

    I'm categorizing it as a bug because I don't think this is a behaviour the dev team was aiming for.

     

    Suggested solution : when switching to another Comp, the Effect Controls should either display nothing (no layer selected) or remember which layer of the new Comp had been selected previously, and switch to it.
