@R Neil Haugen My take on this: The TS has been reporting all kind of odd issues for some days now that happen to Premiere Pro and the TS claims that absolutely nothing has to do with his computer/OS config. Many (all) times with an attitude as well when someone tries to help.
Since none of the issues have been reported earlier the conclusion is clear. There is indeed an issue with the TS computer/OS config. He writes that he has the Razer Synapse. (See first post) The Razer Synapse claims to have "Advanced Macro Capabilities". If the the Razer Synapse fire off a macro now and then depending on what key/key combination is pressed it may explain many, if not all of the issues.
The reason to why i think so: I have a Steelseries keyboard with macro capabilities that i never use. Some days ago the firmware got updated and the keyboard were resetted back to its original config that enabled macros. All of a sudden the Save As dialog popped up for no obvious reason when i pressed a key that never brings up the Save As dialog. More odd things happened as well in Premiere Pro because of this thing alone.
In short, when i had gone through resetting prefs, etc, etc i discovered that my keyboard seemed to fire off all kind of keystrokes when pressing other keys in all apps. I turned off the macro-blah-blah on the keyboard and *boom*, everything did go back to normal.
Macros can do just this, swithching windows, make spacebar do a different thing, making an app behave oddly when trying to use it, etc, etc. Press a key and something else happens...
It cannot be Premiere Pro alone in all his cases. It´s either the computer/OS config or user error.
Thats my take on it and it wont be popular.
@Ann Bens @Averdahl anyone got an idea?
