Premiere Pro 2022 Freezes accessing file requesters

[Gary@OECCUTAH]

Having issues with Premiere locking-up / freezing intermitenly when opening file requesters. When ever I attempt to import a file, or choose a "Save as" location Premiere just freezes.  I have to End the task in the task manager and restart.  Very frusterating if you haven't saved right before it freezes. 

Has anyone else seen this behavior.

Running Version 22.5.0 (Build 62)

New INFO:

I'm pretty sure Premiere is popping the file requester behind the main program window.  Since the main program is waiting for a file to be selected, it acts frozen.  Because it's frozen, there's no way to minimize it to get to the file requester window.

I could be wrong, but it's sure acting like that's what is happening.

If you are on a mac dont use floating windows.

Dont use floating panels on window either.

Is that a premier interface setting?

ADOBE! You need to FIX THIS!!!!   It's so frusterating.  Premier is pretty much unusable.  I duplicate the issue on every machine I run on!  You lock up the who program every time you open a file-requester.  That's great unless the file requester opens up UNDER the main program window.  Only think I've found you can do is Shut down the TASK.

Really BAD!

*lock up the WHIOLE program &

Only THING I've found...

I've had 1hr of sleep in the last two days becuase my projects are taking forever because I'm dealing with this random lockup every time I open a file requester.
