If your project view is set to, "Open in New Window" it will work properly. However, change the Bins behavior to, "Open in Place" and then double-click a sequence until your finger cramps up... nothing happens.

If it was broken, then I couldn't do it. And I just did it. :)

I double-clicked on a sequence in the Project panel in icon view and it opened right up in the Timeline viewer.

As to your other reported mystery:

If you open up several new sequences in one project and then close Premiere, the current workspace reflects the open Timeline viewers. If you saved the project with the new sequences, and then re-open it, all is well.

But if you *don't* save the project with the new open sequences, the next time you open that project, the workspace will call for the same number of Timeline viewers that you had the last time, but the Project panel won't be able to fill them with sequences because those sequences were never saved.

It's a minor annoyance that may or may not require a lot of developer effort to fix, which means it may or may not ever get fixed.

You can read all of Eddie's tutorials you want on Wiki and it won't help you with this.

I haven't figured out exactly why Premiere will start with the timeline full of "No Sequences" tabs. Not every time... just when it feels like it.

And double-clicking on the sequence icon in the project window will only open it up when you're in list view (as opposed to icon view). This got broke in CS3 and I'm too lazy to tell anybody that can actually fix it. (Assuming this would even do any good).

You will also find links to many free tutorials in the Premiere Pro Wiki that will quickly show you how things are done in PPro.
