Cursor scroll position

  • June 11, 2017

When i edit a html file which has external css and js files, the scroll position is always on top of the file when i switch between the files.

Example:

I need to edit code at line 500 in my html file, scroll position is around that line, so i can see the cursor and the code i want to edit. Now i switch to an external CSS file. When i now switch back to source code of the html file, the scroll position ia at the top of the file, not at line 500 where my cursor is. Now i have to scroll down again to that line 500 where i want to edit the code.

Problem is on my iMac with macOS Sierra 10.12.5 (16F73)

Dreamweaver CC 2017.1 9583 Build

I do not have the problem on my Windows machine with the same Dreamweaver version.

How can i fix this? I can not work fluently if i have to scroll to down everytime.

    Another (better, in my opinion) option is to turn off the Enable Related Files feature in Dreamweaver preferences. Then you can work with your files in a more natural way. You probably never need to edit a JavaScript file anyway, and if you need to open a CSS file for editing, then you simply open it from the Files panel. It's safer than using Related Files, too, as that feature opens a virtual copy of the actual file and can sometimes cause saving issues.

      Thank you for your help.

      I find the related files feature very useful for most purposes i have. On my windows computer the scroll position in Dreamweaver behaves as it should, but not on my macOS computer. I hope Adobe will fix this problem in a future version of Dreamweaver.

      Have you tried Quick Edit (Ctrl+E)? I think that the problem was solved in 2017.2. It may be an idea to update.

      Yes i use Quick Edit, but for refactoring i prefer switching between files. With javascript files i can not use Quick Edit.

      Where can i get Dreamweaver 2017.2? My Creative Cloud Client does not offer any update.
