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.

Yes, this is incredibly frustrating. I am constantly having to reset the panels because I accidentally move them! This really slows me down. A lock panels feature would be nice!

Absolutely essential. When you're using an editing app, you're using something akin to a 'single use machine'. Premiere is awfully sensitive to a stray click - particularly when using a pen and tablet, which many do. It's so easy to accidentally sweep a window offscreen or ***** up a workspace. Not only within the app, but also the entire window should be able to be locked. It should also be possible to run Premiere as windowless, as an option, so that it completely takes over the entire interface with no menu bar visible. It's an incredible interruption to one's work when you have to go and figure out where that window or tab went.

One thing that has helped me with this is binding a key to reset to saved layout. That way I can always get back to right where I like quickly.

In 15 years of using Premiere Pro I've never once "accidentally" changed the workspace. Nor has anyone ever complained about it in the forums.

I don't think this issue warrants the use of Adobe's limited resources.
