Lock feature for workspace

Please bring back the lock feature in workspace
I know we can reset to saved layout but it’s better to prevent accidental panel movements in the first place.
I often move the workspace by accident which is quite annoying, and I remember having a lock feature long time ago so it must be too much trouble to bring it back. I don’t know why they removed it in the first place.

I’ve been using this well over a decade, since CS6, and I’ve never known of a workspace lock option.

I’ve got nine custom workspaces, all named and with a number at the beginning of the name so I can call ‘em by keyboard shortcut ... so everything I’ve done for all this time in Premiere is in a custom workspace.

And yea, sometimes a Project will jump back to the lower left quadrant panel group of the main Premiere window, which is annoying IN THE EXTREME after all these years, but ... I just drag it back to where it’s supposed to be in my layout. 

And will complain to the devs about this again at NAB in April.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
