Problem #1: Session View Defaults to MIDI Event

[bilco]

For some reason, even if I save the session with the Mix View open just before closing it, when I reopen it, there is a white blank screen that says MIDI Event List up on the blue Pro Tools tool bar at the top of the screen. I can select "Show Mix" or "Show Edit" from the Windows dropdown and everything is fine. Why does this happen on some sessions and not others? I have been using PT for ~ 2 years and have never looked into this until now.

Thanks,

Are the sessions from a template?

They are over a year old, but yes, I think I created a template originally.
