P: Can't move panels (Lock Workspace enabled)

[GarethLind]

This is an issue, to varying degrees, with all Adobe apps. I use a M1 Max laptop with two additional montiors. Whenever I switch up monitors (home/work/Cintiq), I have to reset the Workspace, as Adobe does a poor (non-existent) job of remembering how I had it set up last with that permutation of monitors.

Cutting to the chase, in this case, I can't drag the palettes over from being halfway off the monitor back into view. I've tried turning off the Graphics Processor. I've tried resetting the Workspace.

I can drag each palette individually into view, but not the whole group.

Thanks!

It's quite frustrating having such a seemingly basic user interface issue!

What version of macOS are you on? Are you saying you can't drag the panes outlined in red at all, like they are immovable?

I could take the individual panes but not the whole group of panes. And they always shifted to that position when resetting. I ended up taking them individually over and rebulding the group, accessibly from the right. But a pain.

This isn't a multiple monitors issue. I can't move groups of palettes – before it was possible. Upgraded to 2023 – same issue. I try selecting to the right of the X, as before. See image. I can chose the "Colors" tab but not the whole group.

I've solved this issue – "Lock Workspace" was checked. I tried that to avoid the palettes moving around whenever I switch monitor configurations. Thanks!

Excellent.
