Lock Workspace

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let us have the ability to LOCK a workspace once we have the panels and windows in place. Accidental click and drags causing windows and panels to shift and resize or disappear all-together when you're in the middle of editing is really frustrating.

very annoying that I cannot lock my windows.  I work between timelines regularly and I often errantly drag a timeline out and seperate.  I do not have a dual screen so this is not a workable layout so I then need to reset.  Each instance takes about :20 but when you are in the minutia of editing, and it happens over and over, it is very annoying.  I'm not even sure how I do it (wish I knew).  Only started happenning with the newer magic mouse.  A visible lock, like you lock the sequence layers, would be ideal.

This should definately be the feature! Really annoys me, everytime I edit this happens.

Absolutely agree, this should be a feature.  All too easy to accidentally re-arrange panels.  Has bothered me for a very long time but I never knew others shared the same sentiment.

I agree, this is so so important and currently very annoying. At times Premiere does not even reopen my custom workspace properly even if I did not touch it. And yes, errors happen and it is very frustrating having to reset the workspace layout or reposition a window that for some reason Premiere could not recall the exact arrangement.

Already in May, hope that Adobe won't take 5 years to add a Lock button and correct the small bugs in Workspaces...

I second the sentiment that Jim Simon has nothing of value to contribute to these forums. I've seen him post his drivel on many threads, and not once was it anything of value.  Trolls like him should be banned, but since he loves to play devid's advocate at the expense of other users, rather than ban him, Adobe gave him the label of 'Legend'.  Go figure!

I can't believe this isn't a feature. @excited_Genie16B8 is an idiot.

Don't agree at all. Just because it's never appeared in the forums before doesn't mean it's not a frustrating and important fix. Every issue has to be presented for the first time at some point. Not a reasonable example as to why this should be dismissed by the Adobe Team.

Exactly. Same issue.

When we need to have multiple timeline tabs lined above the timeline window for quick access, we become super prone to dragging the timeline window somewhere else instead of scrubbing the timeline.
Current workaround is to constantly reset to workspace. Happens to me and all the editors around me too. Especially if we are using a wacom or moving too quickly.

@TaranVH The simple obvious fix is Workspace Lock is not a default. It's something you can turn on.
