After Effect custom workspace keeps rearranging itself...why?!

Hi,

I have a custom workspace set up in AE. However, every time my project autosaves and sometimes when I import new assets all the panels resize, some crush up to one side, some spread wide in the middle. On some occasions, panels will even disappear.

It used to be that I could reset to saved workspace and it would correct itself - though this is tedious when I have to do it after every autosave - but since the CC2018 update, this no longer works. It seems like AE isn't saving my layout but is saving this squashed and stretched layout instead and I can't overwrite it.

I have also saved it under new names and that doesn't work.

It's beginning to drive me mad, not to mention interfering with my workflow.

Any help is gratefully received.

Thanks

My solution is to create a KBar button of "reset to saved layout"

It's a tiny bit faster and at this point, it's second nature...

Has there been a fix for this yet? This has been happening for so long. It’s very frustrating

Same problem here,

Win 10 Pro ver. 1803, AE CC 15.1.1
GeForce GTX 1080 Ti, 2 4k monitor

Every time I open or create a new project, or even when I use some plugins I have to Reset to Saved Layout.

Hope Adobe can find a solution to this, thanks!

Reminder to everyone in this thread: you can double-click your workspace name at the top to quickly reset it.

Not a fix, but a faster way to deal with the issue until it's fixed.

I have been having this problem for a long time. This is on both computers I use both are always updated to most recent version of AE. One has Windows 10 Pro, the other Home. Both have dual monitor setup. One has 2 1920*1080 the other has 1920*1080 and 4k.

Almost any time I load a project, import an asset, or AE does something that takes a few seconds my panels are resized thinner and sometimes AE loses full screen. This only happens with AE, not any other Adobe products or any other programs.
