Can't change the file in the editor when working with two editor windows

Scrivener Scrivener for macOS

Hello dear Scrivener team,
I have had a problem in editor mode since today. I always use two windows next to each other in editor mode. The left window for writing the text and in the right window I have deposited information about the chapter. The problem: I can no longer change the right-hand editing field. I usually activate the field with a mouse click and select the corresponding file in the binder. If I now activate the right-hand window and select a new file, the left-hand window is unfortunately updated. I have already tried everything.
Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
My system: MacBook Pro 12.7.6
Thank you very much for helping out

You’ve probably locked the right editor, inadvertantly. Look for a small padlock icon in the upper right corner, nearby where the split and navigation buttons are. If you see that, right-click in the header bar, and disable “Lock in Place” toward the bottom.
