Keeping a panel undocked permanently

[Robbie34135385e7mh]

Hey everyone, 

Does anyone know how to keep a panel undocked permanently? This seems like it should be an easy thing to do, but when I undock a panel and save changes to this workspace, when I reopen Premiere again the panel is back to being docked with everything else.

Try resetting the preferences:

If that doesn't work, try resetting the Workspaces:
Reset a workspace
Reset the current workspace to return to its original, saved layout of panels.
1. Do one of the following:
• Click the Workspace menu icon and select Reset to Saved Layout.
• Choose Window > Workspace > Reset to Saved Layout.

If that doesn't work, try creating a new project and import the old one into it.

Thanks for the answer, this hasn't worked though.

You probably know this, but some users coming to read this won't. 

To make and save changes to a workspace means you would have to change this to a new custom, named workspace, as you can't save changes to the built-in workspaces.

Hello Robbie etc.

Just writing to confirm that what you have descirbed is not typical behaviour - there is something going on with your system which is unusal and Peru Bob has outlined possible fixes.

Note also that there are issues with the design of Premiere Pro's handling of panel heirarchy (see here).

Ahh, yeah Peru Bob's recommendation didn't worked for me. I'm getting a new laptop soon, so hopefully it was just an issue specific to the laptop I'm using now.
