Can't close bins in Premiere Pro CC

So, I just got PP CC, and I'm having a problem with the bins, I can create them as I always did in CS6, but when I want to close them I can't. I don't know if I'm clicking in the wrong place, but there's the same arrow that I used in CS6 to close them.

As you can see, I droped that video in the bin but I can close it as I did in CS6, like this:

I want the bins to be like that, what can I do?

Thanks and greetings from Argentina

    The same thing is happening to me.  It was working just fine and all of the sudden the only way to open bins is to double click and have them open in a new window. 

    I was able to fix it by resetting the workspace.

    Go to the top bar that shows the difference workspaces, click on the menu next to it (the 3 lines) and choose reset to saved layout.

    If you are working with a workspace that you customized and saved, you might want to switch to another, reset it and try using your custom workspace again.

    Hope that helps.

    I had the same problem and found the issue.  Under Metadata Display, if you choose "Selected" under the "Premiere Pro Project Metadata," the arrows won't open and close the bins.  If you see the check boxes to the left of your file or bin name, then you have "Selected" checked.

    When you uncheck "Selected", the check boxes go away and the bins will open and close like you're use to.

        EDIT: I think I misunderstood what you are asking. Can you post a screenshot of the entire Project Panel?
