right click on tab open in browser adds encoded question mark %3F, which breaks the path to the file. If I remove the added query string it works well. But I don't like this inefficient behaviour.

This is what happens with the encrypted question mark.
 

 This is with a normal question mark.

I use Dreamweaver for more than 2 decades. This was never a problem. I don't know why the query string is added anyway. In 21.6 this was not added.

    hello ​@Paul5EB2 ,

    Just wondering, it looks like you’re working directly from a file:/// path (for example from a local or OneDrive folder),

    Sometimes DW behaves a bit differently when files are opened directly from the file system instead of through a defined site.

    It might be worth checking:

    • if the issue still happens when the project is set up as a proper site in Dreamweaver
    • and possibly when the site is located on a local drive rather than a synced folder


    That could help narrow down whether this is related to the environment or something else.
