Workspaces No Longer Work For Two Monitors

[hank_stamper]

Hello All,

Not sure is this is the right place for this but here goes:

Since upgrading my computer from a iMac to a Studio and the Mac OS to Ventura along with the Adobe suite of apps, all my Workspaces no longer remember the position of my pallettes on the secondary monitor.  Every time I close all open documants and then go back into Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, etc the pallettes are all piled up on one another or in the wrong monitor.

Very maddening.

Any ideas what went wrong?

TIA

Eric

it might be more productive work one app at a time (and maybe you'll be able to apply one fix to the other apps).

Okay.  We can start with Illustrator if you wish, but the symptom is in Photoshop and InDesign as well.

I have found that I can hit the Reset [workspace] and the panes will populate the second monitor as I had left them the last time I used the application.  It's just that every time I return to the application after closing all documents, the panes have all collapsed back on the primary monitor.

I'm still experiening this problem.  Every time I let say Photoshop sleep, upon awakening all my pallettes are cramed in the main monitor.  I have to reset the workspace every. single. time.  It is getting frustrating.  I'm not sure when this got broke.

Please help  Eric

Hi!

We are sorry to hear that you are having this problem! 

I did a search on your issue and found another thread from February: https://community.adobe.com/t5/illustrator-discussions/window-and-panels-moving-when-mac-goes-to-sle...

The short answer is that the team knows about the problem and is in the process to fix it. I've linked the thread above, and please read the pinned reply by Anshul Saini to get a more detailed explanation.

Good morning! This thread is from about a year ago and I'm still experiencing the same issue. My laptop doesn't even have to go to sleep anymore for it to happen. I walk away for merely a few minutes. I come back to a screensaver and all my tools have moved onto the main laptop screen and it can't be fixed unless I reset the workspace. Please find a way to fix this. It's absolutely maddening.

Nope, still happening.

Hi there. I'm not sure when all of this started but I'm experiencing this exact same issue. It happens with Photoshop, InDesign, and Illustrator. It isn't just when the computer goes to sleep or after closing/reopening. It even happens after the screensaver goes on even for a few minutes. I come back and my saved workspace pallets are scattered all over the place. Some stay on the external monitor, but most get piled on the main laptops screen.

I literally reset my workspace(s) 10+ times a day. It may seem trivial but it's very frustrating and an unecessary interruption to mine (or anyone elses) workflow.
