Fix workspace bugs

I can't use Workspaces right now as they don't seem to remember which monitor is being used for which window set in place for the workspace. I'll save a workspace with my main window and timeline on monitor 1 and when I reload the project the next day, the window has shifted to monitor 2 with the other windows on top of it. I also often get a blank window when loading a previously saved workspace. The saved workspace now seems completely useless and I have to start from scratch with creating my workspace. Workspaces are unusable for me right now.

For problems with windows being moved offscreen - try grabbing a corner and resizing the window while holding "OPT" or "Shift-OPT". This has been a problem for me for the longest and only have just found this workaround. Also works in AE. Have also read that "CMD+/" may work for this issue but have not tried it yet.

Workspaces are a great idea but are a total mess. Windows can be moved offscreen and be unable to be recovered. Workspaces get forcibly overwritten in certain circumstances where you've got a different monitor config. And because there are only usually two OS windows (which contain many tabs and Premiere 'windows', Workspaces don't remember the position of the OS windows. It's still a bit of a buggy mess, frankly.

I notice this issue all the time when switching projects. I save my dual monitor workspace exactly how I want in a blank project and it'll work fine for a bit, especially if I create a project template for new edits. However, when I switch to a different project some of the panels rearrange themselves and "Reset Changes to Saved Workspace" doesn't put things back correctly. I notice this especially on my Project window and the Effects window.

Workspaces are not being saved. I change it, save it. Click to switch to my newly saved workspace and the panels are not where I put them. Something is glitching and broken.

Same. Workspace feature is pretty much broken and doesn't work anymore.

I'm experiencing the bug as well. For me I've only noticed the project window not saving to my desired location; however, it very well could be other windows too...it's just that I specifically want the project window in a certain place but am unable to save it there.

Once a project is started and windows are arranged, the windows remain in location upon re-opening the project. But when I start a new project and choose the custom workspace, the project window is reset to the lower left corner of my left monitor (where I don't want it).

I'm having the same saving issue with PP 2019. Seems like a simple thing to fix. Every panel ends up in the right place except for one. Super odd.
