"no clip selected" in Effect Controls panel with dual-screen layout

[neilb69570407]

Whenever I use a dual-screen layout that has my Timeline on one screen and the Effect Controls on the other screen, something weird happens.  When I select the clip on the timeline, and then go to the Effect Controls window to change a property of the clip, it instantly disappears as soon as I click in that window.  I have to reselect the clip in the Timeline a second time, and only then does the properties stay in the Effect Controls.

Again this only happens with a dual screen setup with each window on a different screen.  This has been the case since CC 2015, I've noticed.  I am currently using version 2017.1.2

Since you've been noticing this behavior for awhile, you should log it as a bug: Feature Request/Bug Report Form

Perhaps others with dual-screen layouts can chime in as to whether they experience this same problem or not. Also, please provide more specs about your system: FAQ: What information should I provide when asking a question on this forum?

I'm searching for a solution to this problem now on Dec 4, 2020. I have 4 monitors. I select my clip, click on the effect controls tab, and I cannot see the properties for the clip until I deselect the clip and then re-select the clip. It's a really irritating time waster.

what version of premiere are you using?  there were many reports of issues with multiple monitors a few months ago.  You might do some searching here...   Try reducing the number of monitors...  I'm sure working with 4 monitors kicks butt... but maybe you're pushing the envelope...
