Bug: When selecting a favorite plugin insert, the plugin above the one selected opens

[DJ Hellfire]

Saw this bug pop up in 12.7.1 and is still present in 12.8.

I have a bunch of my go-to plugins favorited in the inserts menu (hold cmd and select a plugin to add them to favorites), and periodically a bug happens where I select a certain plugin (say Studer A800) and instead of the Studer popping up, Pro Tools opens the plugin above the one I selected (in this case would be SSL 4000 Buss Compressor). And this happens for any plugin I try to open. So in order to get the plugin I actually want, I have to select the one below it. Closing and reopening Pro Tools usually fixes the problem temporarily.

Anyone else seeing this?

EDIT: Here's my list of favorites attached so those with this issue can compare and maybe we can narrow it down to a possible specific plugin issue.

Yeah, I've seen that issue a couple of times. And, yes, restarting pro tools usually fixes it. I haven't been able to recreate it on demand though.

For me, it's not plugin dependent. I've seen it happen with Slate VTM and VMR specifically.

Any plugin that is in the favorites list. Selecting via manufacturer or type doesn't reproduce the issue.

I've been experiencing this and reporting it for awhile now and nobody has ever commented about it so I thought it was something on my end.

It would be great if a solution could be found.

For me, it doesn't seem to be tied to a specific plugin and doesn't happen all the time, but it happens often.

Sometimes it even loads a plugin more than one listing up so you have to keep guessing to get the desired plugin to actually load.
