Source Window - Timeline is covered by scroll bar - Premiere Pro CC 2018

I would definitely not consider a missing scroll bar as a "non-critical" issue...

Regarding the long bug list in many apps, I find the cloud and fast internet has in some respect brought many convenience improvements to the update process, but in many ways, it has also become a curse.

Its not just Adobe. I am having issues with almost all software manufactures. Keyword "Windows Update Nightmare" just to mention another problem we have to deal with. I really can't remember that I have spend so much of my limited productive time researching software issues, spending time in forums or with software support teams, as in the past three years. The fact that companies can now send updates whenever and how often they want at much lower costs, has led to extremely sloppy updates. At high costs for us users.

We are now facing corrupt features more and more... When they finally get fixed, new corrupted features and issues are introduced and so on. Its becoming a real issue for me and my hunch is, for many others too. Plus, I now have to spend hours updating my knowledge of new features with endless tutorials. Again, if you are working with one app, it might be bearable. But not in my case. I have a multimedia studio and need to work with many apps. It's become a never ending story and its cutting my productive "up-time" down considerably.

New features, it might be argued, will improve your productivity. But these feature enhancements are in no relation to the time I am currently loosing with instabilities introduced with bad updates. I wish companies would just cool down and start to introduce best practices regarding updates and will start to understand that we need stability more then anything now.

Before, software updates were well conducted and implemented thoughtfully. Now its like: "Lets get the update out there and who cares if it doesn't work for a minority of users, we can always add new updates later on". 

Making all things new might be a good argument for share holders, but its a bad idea for the end user and our stable systems. Its time to start reflecting on the needs of the user again. That's said, don't create anymore updates at the cost of stability.

Hi Neil,

Thank you for the tip! It will be a workaround for now and I will definitely give it a try. In the long run, I wouldn't mind having a working copy of Premiere though.

I use many apps from Cubase Pro, Wavelab, all Adobe CC apps etc. Maybe 15 apps or more. Not all of them on a daily basis... Remembering key commands for all of them is a little too much to ask. If I were to remember only 10 important key commands per app, that would be in excess of 150 commands. I do know my key commands for the main apps I use.

Support did contact me and we are working on a solution for the scroll bar glitch.

Thanks again, Cheers.

I've been working on PR most of the day and only had the above issue happen once, maybe twice.  Tonight I found a new glitch in the same window.  This one has never happened before.

All the information has disappeared from the "source window", the same window that was buggy from my original post.

Anyway, just wanted to share in case someone else comes across this same issue.  Screen grab below.

You can see the double arrows on the top right are the only thing on the "source window".  When I click the arrows they function as normal, but when I select any of the three options the window just stays blank.  Just like before if I close and restart PR it functions normally again.

Ah yes, now I see what you mean. I can't replicate it here ... I wonder if Window/Workspace/Reset to Saved Layout (Alt-Shift-0) would fix this.
