Project Panel keeps moving when relaunching

Every time I relaunch Premiere, the Project Panel moves to the lower left panel group, even though I prefer in the upper right Panel Group. This also happens in my custom workspaces when I click "reset to saved layout", even though I saved with the panel where I want.

This started with CC2019. Is this a new "feature"?

I have unchecked "import workspaces..."

I have dumped my custom workspaces in the finder and started from scratch.

Any ideas?

Try placing the media browser panel in the same panel group as the project panel. It should keep it from changing position when you next start a project.

Close Premiere Pro. Navigate to the preferences folder: Windows: C:\Users<username>\Documents\Adobe\Premiere Pro<version>\Profile-<profilename> Rename the preferences file "Adobe Premiere Pro Prefs" to something like Old_Preferences. Restart Premiere Pro. It will create a new preferences folder with default settings.

This works for me, from an Adobe agent chat support.

Hey @Ann Bens,

Are you still seeing this issue? I noticed I have a Dual Monitors workspace available. Does it honor the Project panel position? Or is the issue only with custom workspaces? @stephenw_OhioHealth, can you comment? Let me know.

Thanks,
Kevin

This is with custom workspaces, as I really have never used the built in ones. Either I have grown used to hunting for the project panel and do not pay much attention anymore. It still hapens, but seems intermittent. I will pay attention today, and share later.

I do rememeber that wasthe workaround. Not always ideal, but functional.

Yep, 5 years in and STILL having this problem! Sort it out Adobe! Such a daft issue to be having to deal with EVERY time a project loads! Also have "revert to saved layout" to bring it back and, guess what?! The project window has moved again, back to where I like my Effects window to be (I do NOT like them being in the same place!!!!) SO stupid and so frustrating!

Sorry if youve already tried this, but if you place the media browser panel in the same group as the project panel, it should stay there upon restarting or upon opening a new project.

I know it's been 3 years, but I have been experiencing this bug for a while on my iMac at work, and I found a workaround.

I discovered that if the Media Browser panel (that I never used) shares the panel with the Project panel, it won't move.

I'm basically using the media browser as a boat anchor for the project panel lol.

Still seeing this too. Project panel, often in the wrong place.

It is a bug - I reported this quite some time ago and had a long session via remote desktop with an Adobe support guy. Seems that Adobe are very slow fixing bugs these days - if they ever get fixed. I also have a bug with the workspaces panel - if you move it somewhere else, it breaks and doesn't show any workspaces. Seriously rubbish response from Adobe who used to be reasonably good with bug fixes - not any more.
