Can’t click and grab ANYTHING in the project window
I’m using the the most up to date premiere pro on the most up to date mac operating system.
First off, this isn’t the issue where I can’t click and drag a clip from a bin to a timeline because I don’t have a video layer selected. MANY people seem to have had that problem, and it’s making a google search for the fix to MY problem impossible.
All of a sudden while in the project window, I can’t click and grab any clip, sequence, or bin and move it anywhere. It highlights but then I can’t move it. I usually work in list mode, but the same problem exists in icon mode. If I switch it to “freeform” mode, I can grab the item but it won’t let me move it out of the confines of the window.
Is this a bug in the latest update, or did I click something somewhere accidentally that I can unclick? I’ve checked to make sure that it’s in “write mode” (a setting I just discovered).

I didn’t find this was a preference issue for me but rather a timeline that was being stubborn. I created a new, clean timeline and pasted everything from the “bad” on inside the new one and the problem went away. Far as I can tell, the only thing different about the “bad’ on was that I had performed a auto-transcription-caption on it.

For me, it ended up being bad ram. I replaced (and doubled) the installed ram and things are working well now (knock on wood).

I had this same problem, except odd things like my forward space key did not advance the timeline marker forward…only back worked! Also some of my keyboard shortcuts just stopped working. I have Option-D set to duplicate anything in the project window. It just stopped working after the latest CC22 update. Running Catalina so can’t load CC23 yet. I did the shift launch and it worked for a while, but now it’s back again. Never happened since CC was born. Have to think it’s a new (and exciting) ghost in the machine!
