FAQ: How to solve issues related to undocked panels in Premiere Pro v14.5?

[Sumeet Kumar Choubey]

Update: This issue is being addressed in our Beta releases and will be available in a future stable release. You may download the Beta build from the Creative Cloud Desktop app. Please refer to this link to know more about Beta apps.

We are investigating an issue with Premiere Pro v14.5 wherein undocking panels or splitting workspace across multiple monitors might cause a few features to not work.
These are:

• Keyboard shortcuts not working.
• Drag & Drop functionality not working for the clips on the timeline.
• In a few cases moving media clips to a different track on the timeline causes the media/asset to get duplicated in the project bin.

Workaround to fix these issues is to dock the panels or use any of the default Workspaces under the menu Window > Workspaces. If you have modified any of the default workspace, you may reset it under Window > Workspaces > Reset to Saved Layout.
Hope it helps.

Try to reset the workspace if it does not work quit the application and clear Preference by pressing the alt or opt key while launching. What version you're using?

Thank you. I would only add that the better fix is to temporarily select one of the default workspaces. Once you have selected one of the default workspaces, the functionality is restored, and it keeps working even if you then go back to a custom workspace. Docking also restores the functionality but only as long as the Project panel remains docked – if you then undock it again, the fix does not stick. (iMac Pro 2017, macOS Ventura 13.01)
