PANELS WON'T MOVE

[Brenneman]

THE TABS ON MY PANELS WILL  NOT HIGHLIGHT OR ALLOW ME TO MOVE THEM. PLEASE HELP.

[Derek Cross]

Is this something that has just happened or have you always had this issue?

Which version of Photoshop and OS?
How much RAM and spare hard disk capacity do you have?
Have you tried resetting the Photoshop preferences back to the factory defaults?

The first thing to check is Window > Workspace > Lock Workspace to make sure your workspace is not locked.

"Prevent accidental panel moves with Lock Workspace

"Introduced in the October 2018 release of Photoshop CC (version 20.0)

"Use the Lock Workspace option to prevent accidentally moving workspace panels, particularly when you’re using Photoshop on a tablet/stylus. To access this option, choose Window > Workspace > Lock Workspace."
