Photoshop Workspace Unstable

Frequently when I re-open Photoshop the history panel and the Adjustments panel are out of place. All my panels except the main image window are supposed to reside on my secondary monitor (the saved workspace). I am on MacOS Monterey 12.6 using a Mac Studio M1 Ultra (2022) and my Photoshop version is 24.4.1. The displays are set-up as an integrated desktop - menus and cursor can move around between them.

Hi @MarkDS does this happen after your Mac goes to sleep? This was an older noted issue with Mac Monterey not recognizing a secondary monitor fast enough when waking a Mac from sleep or locked screen.

Hi @MarkDS 

 

Let's make sure we're in a default state and there are no stale settings somewhere: 

Restore your preferences using this manual method:  

https://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/using/preferences.html#Manually  

Does it work correctly? 

If that doesn't solve it, you can quit Photoshop and put the Settings folder back. 

 

 

It may help if we could see your Photoshop System Info. Launch Photoshop, and select Help >System Info...and copy/paste the text in a reply.
