Question

Dreamweaver CC 2021 is constantly crashing when attempting to edit a HTML page

I have a fairly simple HTML page that I use for photo tracking.  Since updating to 2021 version, the app is constantly crashing when I attempt to edit my document.  I'm unsure of what is causing it since it happens completely randomly.  Its become even more frequent in the last week or so.

 

Do I need to rebuild something or delete a cache file somewhere?

    Does this happen with ALL files in all defined sites or just certain ones?

     

    Copy & paste this error-free code into a new, blank document to test.  Does DW still crash?

    <!doctype html>
    <html lang="en">
    <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <title>Bootstrap 4.5 Starter Page</title>
    <meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="
    https://stackpath.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/4.5.0/css/bootstrap.min.css">
    </head>
    
    <body>
    <header class="container">
    <div class="row">
    <div class="jumbotron mx-auto">
    <h1>Bootstrap 4.5 in Dreamweaver</h1>
    </div>
    </div>
    </header>
    
    <main class="container">
    <div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-8 mx-auto">
    <h2 class="text-info">Heading 2</h2>

    </div>
    </div>
    </main>
    
    <hr>
    
    <footer class="text-center">
    <p>Some footer text here...</p>
    </footer>

    </body>
    </html>

     

    If the error-free code above is working, check your own documents for code errors.

    Thank you Nancy for the suggestion - I went and edited another document within my site and saved it - now I can edit and save the previous document giving me trouble.  Not sure what the cause was but I seem to be good now.

     

    again - thank you for responding to this question!
