Closing a Panel no longer jumps back to the previous panel I was using

In Premiere 2021, when I open a sequence from another sequence, it opens it up on another panel. And when I finish my edit with that opened sequence and then I close it, it goes back to the sequence that I opened it from.

Now in Premiere 2026, when I have multiple sequence panels open, every time I close an opened sequence, it just goes to the very next sequence on the left of the one I closed, rather than the actual panel I was working on before opening that sequence.

This is a problem. I want to return to my original timeline panel after closing a sequence that I opened from that timeline. Premiere used to remember which timeline I was working on when I close the new panels. Please fix this. Go back to how panel closing was in Premiere 2021. Thank you.
