Dreamweaver 2017.0.1 bugs

Yesterday I installed this latest revision of Dreamweaver CC. It did in fact fix some of the problems with the earlier release like the source code formatting command. Once I found it in it's new place on the previous rev it did not work at all. It now works.

However now we have another set of problems that I believe are even more serious than the original problems. If you load more than 2 pages and run them in active mode everything slows and eventually hangs up completely. The system stops completely and I get the Windows alert that the program is not responding and it shuts down. My system is very stable otherwise and nothing else seems to hang it up. This is a very repeatable problem and rebooting and restarting does not cure the problem. Fortunately I kept my 2015 version and I now have to revert back to that in order to have a stable system.

Am I the only one with these problems? Is Adobe aware of this?

    Since the update, I have no problems viewing multiple documents -- Live, Design, Code or Split view.

    CC 2017.1 on Win10, 64 bit.

    What do you mean by "run them in active mode"?

    Are you talking about the Live Preview in a browser, or Live View within DW, or something else?

    Sorry - I meant "Live" mode as opposed to "Design" mode. I am not sure if it hangs in Design mode but I know it does in Live mode.

    I don't have this issue under Windows 7 64 bit running 2017.0.0 Build 9346.

    I'm running 4-5 random pages from one of my sites. I have the documents open as floating windows. one is running a .js marquee, one is running an MP4 video, the other two are just pages with random javascripts. All in Live View with no discernible lag, slow down or lock up.

    Are you working with clean/valid code?

    Does it appear to be happening with certain file types?
    Anything "special" about your pages (are they running video, lots of includes, @import rules, etc)?
    Are the files on a local drive?
    Is that drive the same that DW is installed on?
