| I don’t know if this is related on Mac, but I occasionally run into occurrences where I can’t switch to Pr from Ae (or vice versa) without hiding Ae, and then clicking on the Pr workspace. Since this behavior comes and goes, I chalk it up to some interaction with the OS. It’s happened on and off over years, so that includes various Adobe revs and OSX versions. And a thing I’m starting to HATE about Ae and Pr is how they switch themselves to the foreground app when they “want to.” A prime example is launching one of them, and then working on an email, and in the middle of writing something, the open screen appears on Ae and kills my creative writing mojo. Another is that I’ll be working in Pr and the Ae Auto-Save thermometer appears. Or, that I’ll be exporting in Pr, and I can’t get the progress bar to go to the background when I switch to a browser or email app. I use Render Garden. It gives us the option of having a Render Complete message take the foreground. Unless we choose it, it minds its own business. I like that. Be like that, Adobe. > On Nov 12, 2018, at 6:16 AM, Chris Zwar <AE-List@media-motion.tv> wrote: > > Hi all, > > I’ve decided to be much more pro-active about reporting bugs and problems with AE.

I’ve mentioned this before on here but I haven’t really followed it up. But it's always there, always a problem, and it affects me and everyone I work with. We are working on Windows machines (currently CC 2018) and just changing to another app and then back again always causes a brief hang. Always. Even something like using the calculator or checking emails is a problem. > > I had reported this with CC 2017 (it was much, much more severe) and deduced that it was caused by the Importer JPEG module, and I could “solve” the problem by manually specifying the older JPEG importer. The problem with Importer JPEGs seemed to be fixed in CC 2018, however now we have hangs for everything. MP4s are especially bad. > > It’s been like this for years, in some form or another, and generally everyone blames the server.
