Dreamweaver cc 2017 live view, when I save the file, sometimes refreshes to code view.

After the update about a month ago, Live View refreshes to code view but all with black text.  I have to close the file and reopen to get the "real Live View" back.  I have tried it on a different computer and have the same problem.  Any suggestions?

Does this happen with all sites and files or just certain ones?

Are you working with valid, error-free code?

Nancy, the error is on most of the pages that I have been working on during the last week. I read a post in the forum about errors in the page causing this problem.  I  do not have coding errors that cause the "red error on the line number" in Dreamweaver.

The page is very large (1,011 lines of code) and is a combination of HTML and PHP. 

My next step is to run an online w3c to check if there are w3c errors.  The page is on line at this url. http://www.fishingcostarica.bookingcr.com 

I'll post the results of the w3c check.  Let me know if you have any ideas. Also thought I would try it in Develop mode.

***** Ran the w3c check and had 15 errors......  Will fix them tomorrow and let you know.  Thanks.

I just opened up 3 PHP files and they all opened in Code View.  

I switched each to Design View and closed the files.

I re-opened the files and they all opened in Design View.

So for me, DW CC 2017 on Win10, is remembering the last View I used.

I rarely have need for Design or Live View with PHP files.  I'm almost always looking at the code.   So if it reverts to code view on page refresh, I probably would not notice.
