That's not ideal. Can you try running After Effects Safe Mode with third-party plug-ins disabled? Here's how: https://adobe.ly/4p8ANmN

Let me know how it goes.


Thanks,

The image you provided shows you have 2 layers selected. However, you need a minimum of 3 selected layers for the Distribute option to be enabled.

That looks odd. Have you tried closing and re-opening the panel - changing the drop menu selection between Selection/Composition ? And what about changing to another Workspace?
