Somewhat irritating bug involving having a crash after switching to other applications. Going to and from my ssh session (or any other app) with the server im trying to connect to and dreamweaver causes a lockup that ends in having to start over. Thankfully i havent even started tampering with files yet so at least theres that. Is there a solution to this? It hasnt happened before. this is only my third site. I'm not sure but i think dreamweaver should support as many sites as i have space for ony my drive..

This may seem obvious, but are you working within a defined local site folder?  Does the site folder reside on your primary hard drive? 

 

I ask because problems like this can occur when DW is carrying too much baggage like the weight of your entire hard drive vs one small folder of site files.  Or when DW is trying to access files from cloud drives like DropBox or Google Drive.

 

If DW is crashing, check your crash logs for the faulting module.

I am not sure about the switching windows issue, but when you want to open
a new html file while using a local server, make sure to open them through
the files menu. Using other methods within Adobe Dreamweaver might cause
the server to sort of crash and then you will have to kill Dreamweaver and
restart it again.

Hope I helped some.

What version of DW? What OS?  Have you tried the usual deleting preferences, etc.
