Screen showing wrong file despite clicked in the correct one.
I opened a large file, while having a couple other docs open. My screen still shows the original doc in my window, with complete capability to edit, select, and pan, but is showing that I'm clicked into the new drawing at the top tab. This is a fundamental flaw to file opening that is only resolved by restarting.

Also having this issue in Photoshop and Illustrator. It's been happening for quite a long time -- even between completely reinstalling MacOS on a new computer, between Macos Mojave and Catalina, and Between Adobe CC 2019 and now 2020.
If you take the window out of the tab you can see it, but otherwise it's either blank or the window content doesn't change. This also happens with other tabbed windos and pallettes as well -- same behavior, if you undock it you can see it, but dock it up and it's blank. I'm kind of tired of this..

This appears to be Adobe environment wide. This is the first I've run into this in Illustrator, but I have had the same problem with Photoshop. The only way to fix this is to drag the file out of the tray, but then you run into other issues with usability. I JUST UPDATED to 23.0.2 this morning after the fix with the toolbar has been giving me so much trouble.
I've included a screen video of the issue. https://vimeo.com/316804366
I am running Mac OSX Mojave 10.14 (18A391)I have an open thread about Photoshop on this issue here:

Update: it also changes all layer and other panel info to match the correct file, but still does not change the window with the artboards & content.
