Switching Sequences Causes Left Mouse Button to Be Held Down

Some people have previously reported that when you switch sequences (always happens when clicking the sequence in the Timelines window), that the seqeunce tab will get dragged out of the window as if you're trying to move it elsewhere and that it's all dependent on if you move "too fast". After the most recent time that happened, I noticed that the crosshairs icon came up on my cursor and it started to marquee select in the timeline for a few seconds.
 
This part is new. But to stop this madness, same as before, click in an empty space in the timeline.
 
This issue has been going on for at least a year.

This continues to be an annoying issue. Experiencing this quite intermittently on Premiere Pro 25.5.0 on an M2 Max MacBook Pro (2023 series) running Sonoma 14.6.1. No external monitors, no external mice. Hard to trigger consistently for a screen recording, but happens with a generally high frequency; perhaps a race condition bug.

I can try to get a screenshot of it.

 

I noticed recently this behavior occurs in After Effects as well. 

 

Always happens when moving quickly through the app.

 

So I'm convinced it's the source code that powers the tab interface of all Adobe apps, where we can drag the panels as we please.

Hey Justin, just wondering if you ever got a screen recording of the issue!

Have you tried updating your graphics drivers? Let us know if you're on a Mac or PC and which graphics card model you have.

 

Happy to help,

Caroline
