focus shifts to project panel randomly after pasting or inserting

Has anyone else experienced this? When I copy then paste a clip in a timeline or insert/overwrite into a timeline, the active panel randomly switches from the timeline to the Project panel. This doesn't happen everytime, but often enough to be really annoying. I paste into a timeline, then hit the up or down arrow keys or any other short cut and wonder why nothing is happening until I realzie I need to click back into the timeline.

I'm working in Productions.

Premiere v15.2

Mac 10.15.7

This Bug continues to interrupt editing workflows in Premiere Pro 2025. Unfortunately Adobe never bothers to fix fundamental problems like this and is focusing on flashy AI windowdressing.

I am having the same issue in 24.6.0

copy clip, shortcut to switch to next timeline, paste, after paste the project panel is highlighted when I would want and expect it to stay highlighted on the timeline.

I am also having this problem. Was there ever a resolution?

Premiere v24.0.0 and v24.4.1 (Build 2) as of today.

Nope. I still experience this in v24.4.1 (Build 2). Glad to hear I'm not the only one.

It's rough. I do a ton of copy/paste. Easiest way to move stuff on the timeline, for me. I've really gotten to know my shortcut to focus on the timeline again. Best I've got. But I still almost always have a few keyboard strokes before I figure out nothing is happening because I'm focused on the Project panel.

I would try re-setting preferences.

Close the app.

On Windows hold down shift/control/alt and double click on the app icon to open the app.

On Mac same procedure but hold down shift/command/option.

Let your system make changes while holding down the keys.

Hopefully this helps.

Thanks Rob, I have definitely reset prefs for other reasons since I've noticed this and the problem has continued. I'll give it another shot.

Just to follow up, I reset my cache and prefs and even deleted all my custom window layouts just to see if that was a factor. Still getting the same issue periodically.

Hi J_Boy,

Sorry about the poor experience. Is this happening specifically while working within Productions, or is it happening with all the projects? Also, is your workspace split across multiple monitors?

Thanks,

Sumeet

Hi Sumeet,

Yes I'm working across two monitors. Project panel is always on the left monitor, timeline is always on the right monitor. And I only starting noticing the issue since working in Productions. Not sure if it is happening outside of Productions, but I don't think so. I'll be back in a stand-alone project sometime later this month and will keep an eye out for it.

Thanks!

Jeff
