Question

Adobe Dreamweaver CC 2018 still has bugs.

Having updated my Dreamweaver CC to 2018 there are clearly still some bugs that haven't been addressed. Why can't I load certain webpages up where there are just white blocks where the code should be? Why does it fail to respond part-way through uploading the application as well.

I would have thought, Adobe being a multi-million dollar company, that they would have through about this and worked these bugs through. Clearly not.

Hi Toddg,

I am not sure if the issues that you have are more general in nature because I haven't heard of anything similar so far from other users. One way to verify that would be to open the file in a previous version and check if the same issues exist. If they do, then the issue is most likely with your site or computer.

If the issues you see are specific to this release of DW, send me your Adobe ID, location, and phone number along with the URL of this post over a private message. We will get in touch with you for investigation. To send a private message, click my picture and use the Message button.

You can also try some basic troubleshooting yourself DIY troubleshooting kit for Dreamweaver if you want to save time.

Thanks,

How can you "blame" my computer. My computer is an inanimate object that only does what its programmed to do.  I'm sorry but how many ways does a computer install a programme. You install a programme - it works. That it. Simple. Its now telling me my HTML document has a load a unclosed tags when I've checked and there are no errors in my document.

Also, whenever I change any inline styling its only intermittently responsive to any changes I make. I'm sorry but its a computer programme - its a software package, its not a disobedient stupid 5-year-old child which only "does as its told" when it feels like it - but this is clearly how you've unintentionally released this to the public. I suggest you go back the drawing board because clearly there have been some major oversights with the debugging of your software.

Thank you

Whilst I agree with the comment there is a problem with it.

Adobe like many other companies has to rely on users to test their products. That is the only way that it is possible for them to actually test on many different types of computer set-ups. Unfortunatly most people only join the pre-release for a 'sneak peek' of what is coming and do not file bug reports.

The other reason that many who do join the pre-release never bother, is that they quickly find that 'no one is listening'. Which itself creates a 'why bother' attitude for many who would help.

Something doesn't sound right with your installation.  Have you tried reinstalling?  Also, could you share a screenshot of your code view where you are seeing white blocks where code should be?  Also, have you submitted a bug report to Adobe so they are aware of the issue: Feature Request/Bug Report Form​. These are user-to-user forums so there's not much we can do other than offer basic support for the application or point you in the right direction to make sure things are reported to Adobe.
