Can't Rename Bins

[gibsonjsh]

When I go to rename a bin, I can't see the text or cursor, and when I hit "return" Premiere crashes. Has anyone else experienced this? If so, is there a fix?

Try resetting preferences:

Resetting prefs didn't work for me.  Resetting to saved layout in the workspaces did work for me (Windows > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout)

[David Arbor]

In addition to trashing your preferences, make sure that you're running Premiere 13.0.1, which came out last week.

I just started experiencing this problem.

I cannot rename bins. This is bad.

Tried the above reset, but this did not help.

Some other instructions online were to delete the Adobe folders from the ~/Library/Application Support and the /Library/Application Support..

Any suggestions?

Thanks

I don't crash the app like you guys, and I am running the latest version.

The Mac is 6 months old, So its not the machine.

[IceCube NinJaH]

ok, so....

Hope this easy fix helps the next person.

I opened the project up and still could not rename the bin.

Then I tried to highlight this bin again.

Then went to Menu / clip / rename.

Now it works across the board.

I can right click and I can rename by pressing enter.

So I guess the programming had a little bug in it.

This did not work for me

It's happen to me on multiple machines! Happened when trying to rename any bin or item in a bin.It doesn't crash the app, but I can't see what I'm typing.

Very frustrating! If I type blindly it will accept the text entered, but a solution to this would be appreciated!

Try my trick above your message.

I did try the other suggestions above first, but all my preferences were deleted. (not that I have many)

Thanks

It started happening again to me. It must be a bug in the updated.

Future suggestions welcome

2019 and this is still happening...

[IceCube NinJaH]

Strange. Its not happening tonight to me.

[Donnie Rogers]

It looks like it might be related to version of PremierePro the project was created under. It it only happening to me in projects created before the last update.  I can get around it by creating a new project and importing the old project into it.

Yeah, I've found that's what fixed things for me too. Glad it's finally working now.

[Peter J Kovacs]

Nice... fixed the issue! I think going forward I'll import all current projects into a new projects anytime an update is released.

[Maximumblast]

Yes, Donnies suggested reimport works for me as well. Thanks for that!

Ha, the renaming bug happened to me last night. Widening the column didn't fix the issue - was able to solve by going to Preferences > General and changing the Bin Preference: Double-Click to "Open In Place." If anyone out there is having trouble, maybe try toggling those options around.

Hey folks, here is another possible solution to what seems to be a 10-year old+ issue:

Try resetting your workspace layout. Through the top menu it would be Window > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout

This worked for me when none of the other solutions did. Perhaps try setting to different workspaces as well if still stuck.

danisdevine fixed the problem! Thank you! I was on the verge of insanity.

[Mia_U]

Mods should mark this as THE ANSWER at the top of this page.

Devs should read this and do something about it.

Resetting to saved layout in the workspaces did work for me (Windows > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout)
