Workspaces destroyed when unplugging laptop from second monitor.
MacBook Pro (16-inch, 2019)
2.4 GHz 8-Core Intel Core i9
16 GB 2667 MHz DDR4
AMD Radeon Pro 5500M 4 GB
Intel UHD Graphics 630 1536 MB
I work with two monitors. One is the desktop and the other is all of my open panels. When I unplug the second monitor from my MacBook Pro (or if it goes to sleep) it jams all of the open panels onto the one display and then SAVES the corrupted workspace. I’ve got over 20 corrupted workspaces at this point.
When I plug the second monitor back in, it doesn't fix itself, it's broken my custom workspace and I have to manually drag all of the panels back into place. It should at least just go to default (minimized for one small screen) when I unplug the monitor and back to my current custom workspace when I plug back it. Or at least not save the broken workspace!
Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop ALL do this. It’s been maddening for years.

I use an M1 MacPro laptop with two monitors. I'm often disconnecting and reconnecting, with different permutations (I also uses a Cintiq tablet).
I often find that the palette setup changes and even Window > Workspace doesn't help. For instance, I just relaunched Adobe Illustrator and all the palettes are on my laptop when earlier they were on my second screen, so I need to move them all over and save as another workspace.
This problem has exists for multiple apps – but Photoshop and InDesign tend to work well when I reset the Workspace. Not so with Illustrator.
I'd appreciate a fix for this.
Thanks!
