Bug report: Sticky mouse, particularly when switching timelines
Hi there,
I have a long time bug that has existed over several versions of premiere. This has been posted before by other users, but not for a couple of years so thought it worth starting a new post.
The issue is that the mouse sticks, usually when selecting a timeline. So, for example, i may have four timelines open within the same pane. Only timeline tabs are in that pane. I will click a timeline. I will then click in, say, the effects tab which I keep in a pane with the effects control tab and the source montior tab. But what happens is that the mouse has 'stuck' so it thinks i have dragged a timeline to the same pane as the effects tab. So i then have one pane with three timelines in it, and another pane with effects, effect controls, source monitor and the timeline that i had clicked on earlier.
A quick search has revealed others have the same (or very similar) issues: https://community.adobe.com/t5/premiere-pro-discussions/sticky-and-jumpy-playhead/m-p/13689919

I have experinced this bug on differenct machines and in different versions of Premiere. However, i am currently using 25.6.3 on a 2022 Mac Studio running Sonoma 14.2.
I have also experience this bug on my laptop which is 2025 MacBook Pro running Sequoia. I have also experinced this on other machines (i am a freelancer so companies sometimes want me to work on their machines - they would all be Apple computers, usually mac studios, occasionally it might be an imac).
Please note the bug is intermittent, and usually only happens when i have had Premiere open for a few hours. It has been going on for many years though....
