Non-primary windows disappear after exporting in 23.5

It would be great if you could add the vid to a post here so others could try to replicate.

I've got 9 custom workspaces, and 4 monitors used on my desktop, and haven't ever seen this behavior. So ... I'm trying to figure out how to setup to replicate this.

@jstrawn I sent you a video showcasing the issue in a DM a while ago, was that not enough?

@gideonmuzy I have responded a few times, which you can see above in this thread. It's not a problem that we have been able to reproduce internally, so we'll need help from someone who CAN repro it. If you would like to volunteer to help me with that, please send me a direct message by clicking the Message button that you'll see if you click on my username.

hi

have the same problem

why adobe have not response?? 

it's so dificult to use the program with this bug

Confirming this is still a problem in 24.0 😕😕

Either way, this is absolutely ridiculous. No matter what work around we come up with, this is still a lack of responsibility by Adobe. Doesn't matter if the monitor is hooked up via HDMI or Display port, what really matters is that from the Version 23.5 on, we are facing an annoying problem that didn't happen before. Meanwhile, Da Vinci Resolve doesn't charge us for its software, and it seems to run way smoother than Adobe (that has, right now, a worse product and continues to charge us without any interruption). It is outrageous to put it mildly! 

hello there! i think i found the solution. the problem is more from windows than premiere... i think so.

see.. it just keep me happening and in attempt to solve i switch the windows. the main premiere window to the second monitor and the secondary windows to the main monitor, export something, (the window doenst dissapear)..., close premiere, open again, back windows to normal. and it solve it.

i notice that when i export to media encoder.. .the secondary windows flashes once.. and.. i though it was from video card. system drivers.. so... it came to me that idea and it works. try to switch the premiere windows , export something... back to normal and try again.

It happened again and making a back-and-forth change of spacework solved it.

Hi jstrawn,
On Premiere Pro 23.6, I experienced exactly the same issue (on Win. 10 / 64), with a second monitor plugged by HDMI. Indeed, untied windows like Effects or Timeline suddenly disappeared after exporting (in Premiere directly, or even via Media Encoder). But not Lumetri Monitor (also one of my untied windows) or Project, for instance. And it not happened everytime, but often, and my solution was also to reboot Premiere -- wich seemed to mess my export up (a full black video with good sound at the end).

Make changes of spacework doesn't re-create the problem for me, untill now.

Thanks for your consideration,

Alexis from France.

Win 11. Main monitor on display port, secondary on hdmi both from GPU. All premiere windows on secondary monitor dissapear on export if I am active on the secondary monitor. If I am active on the primary monitor, sometimes the secondary monitor doesnt dissapear, but most of the time it still does.
