Code View Not aAways Synching with Live View

Hi all,

I have used Dreamweaver for years, but the DW8 has satisifed my requirements, so I haven't caught up to DW 2021 until recently.

My current irk is if I hilight an area in the Live window, the cursor location in the Code view doesn't always respond. I have to search for the code area I want to change.

However, just to confuse me, sometimes this approach works perfectly - if I click in an area in the Live window, the Code window automatically displays the correct area.

Am I not grasping an idiosyncrasy in DW 2021?

Many thanks!

Don

Use single-click in DESIGN view.

Shift + Ctrl + F11 to toggle to LIVE view.

Use double-click in Live view until you see a gold box around the target region. See screenshot.

You'll have to live with it I'm afraid.... It has always had that glitch as far as I'm aware.... Sometimes the cursor will be in the correct place, sometimes it won't when switching between live view and code view.

😂 I'm not aware of a fix ... If anyone is I'm sure they'll let you know .... I think you'll find the cursor issue isn't a problem switching between design view to code view, trouble is your layout will most likely be all over the place in design view as it hasn't been updated for years.... Live view was essentially supposed to be the replacement for design view....
