code view: font size suddenly becomes illegible small

Again and again, when I use CTRL+S button to save my edits (when working in sourcecode window)  the text becomes suddenly extremely small and I cannot restore that. When I check my settings in Preferences the size of the Source Code Pro font (Unicode) is the same  as it was before (11 pt). But not in my window, it looks terribly small. I have to quit and restart Dreamweaver (Windows-version 21.6)  to make fonts look normal again. A shortkey bug perhaps? In my recollection it wasn't like this before.

    Just had the same problem. I think I might have accidentally pressed Ctrl+S+[something else] … not sure what key it was though.

    Is it possibly either of you accidentally spun the mouse wheel while hitting Ctrl+S?

    What happens when you mouse over the Source View and hold Ctrl+spin the mouse wheel?

    When I do, I see a small pop up window that disappears very quickly, allowing for increase/decrease and reset for the font size, just like in a browser…

     


    It could also point to a stuck/sticky Ctrl button if you see anything less than 100% there.
