BUG :: Effect controls panel not showing selected clip
Fix the bug where a clip is selected on the timeline but when navigating to the effect controls panel no clip effects are found forcing you to reselect the clip you are trying to change the effects of.
This seems to occur specifically if after selecting the clip in question in the timeline, you select the source monitor (usually stacked with the effects panel) and then proceed to select the effect controls panel. Selecting the effects control panel immediately seems to work fine.
Subsequently, if moving from the effects panel to the source panel and back, the clip is then deselected in the effect controls panel.

2021 is almost over and this issue keeps happening. It slows down my work a lot. Can anyone recommend another video editing tool? at this point I really need a reliable program.

Still no help from Adobe, and no solutions
This is ridiculous

It''s 2021 and this still hasn't been fixed
The only solution I have is that is you do a quick save ctrl+s the effects panel returns

It's impossible to work! I have a clip with lumetri mask applied, after each click on the mask in program window the effects panel shows "no clip selected". so each time I have to select the clip in timeline, click on the mask in effects panel, make one change in program panel and repeat.
only workaround I found is to open the clip in source panel and keep it open, then everything works. -

This is causing me trouble too. Any solutions / workaround found yet?

It will be super nice to have some feedback about this from adobe. Is quite annoying.

Same and worst, all the interface seems to have screen update problems, latest version (13.1.5). Premiere is loosing it, this goes straight to ruin performance.

Same issue here. Every. Time.

The reason it's wasting time of course is because I always have to move my cursor all the way back over to the timeline panel and click on the clip again. Which is the exact action that I just performed a second ago, before I clicked on the effect controls panel.
Twice the action, twice the mouse cursor path... and this is pretty much the main thing I do with Adobe, changing effects of clips in my timeline, such as scale and position.

Same Problem, it's getting really annoying and wasting lots of time.
I click on a clip to select it, I switch tabs to show the Effect controls panel (the source panel tends to open by default), and it incorrectly says "no clip selected" on the Effect controls panel.
This happens sooo often, and it's quite tiring.
