After Effect custom workspace keeps rearranging itself...why?!

[justinh94338808]

Hi,

I have a custom workspace set up in AE. However, every time my project autosaves and sometimes when I import new assets all the panels resize, some crush up to one side, some spread wide in the middle. On some occasions, panels will even disappear.

It used to be that I could reset to saved workspace and it would correct itself - though this is tedious when I have to do it after every autosave - but since the CC2018 update, this no longer works. It seems like AE isn't saving my layout but is saving this squashed and stretched layout instead and I can't overwrite it.

I have also saved it under new names and that doesn't work.

It's beginning to drive me mad, not to mention interfering with my workflow.

Any help is gratefully received.

Thanks

Just started happening to me after I upgraded to AE 2024 on a Mac running Ventura 13.4.1. During the session as I move between different precomps, my workspace spontaneously changes itself. Extremely disruptive to my workflow. Fix it, Adobe. Now.
