Has anyone worked out why the InDesign character and paragraph panel content keeps disappearing?

I know it is a cache issue and to solve it I have to reset my InDesign cache. My question is, how do I avoid it in the first place?

It has happened to me 3 times now in the last month. Is it something I have set up incorrectly?

It took me years to bother doing it, but one of the first things I do now when starting a new role is to set up my personal workspace in InDesign. Now when these pesky glitches occur I can just reset my workspace and it's as good as new (until next time!!).

My workspace kept resetting to "essential" so I created my custom space and saved it renamed to "essential". I've also set up a hot key to reset the workspace because of this.

I think I have tracked down when this happens. It is when I try to edit copy when the tabs panel is still open. If I try to edit copy when also trying to add/edit the tabs, then from that moment on the Paragraph panel content disappears.

.....and its happened again this morning.

The only thing I can think of is I changed my Workspace to Essentials Classic 2 days ago.

I had deleted my Preferences and Cache before that.

I'm running OS 12.4 on a Mac Studio (Apple M1 Max). InDesign version 17.3
