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?

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.

Hello! Im from the future, 2025 and this problem still persists, please take care of the water and mind who you vote to. Jokes aside, Premiere is the most buggy program I ever encounter to the date to edit video.

Quick fix is to just rename it in list view rather than icon view or freeform view

Just found another possible solution that worked for me. Select the bin or file and then go the the Metadata window and rename it in there. Everything was fixed across all projects after this.

Right click on the NAME header title in any bin. "Metadata Display..." will appear as the dropdown menu choice. A window will pop up that allows you to customize the column info that appears in that bin. Much like the colums in Finder or Explorer desktop windows. There are hundreds of choices of info columns that can be shown for clips in the bins and you can save presets. This is very useful for projects with lots of elements.

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.

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

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.

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!
