Every time I open a page in code view the font is a different size. Sometimes they are microscopic, sometimes they are huge. I've reset the font size in Preferences about a hundred times but the font size lucky dip keeps happening.

Is there any way to get Dreamwever to just display every page at the font size that I've set in the preferences instead of displaying every page at a random font size ?

Resetting the preferences fixed it. This is about the third time I’ve had to do this to fix various problems.

Also ensure that your Code Panel text is set at normal (100%) magnification. See screenshot.

Hope that helps.

If the code view font size is changing after every page you open? That sounds like a potentially corrupt code theme. Can you try going to the settings → Interface → Code Theme and select a different theme and see if the issue persists?

@Happy Feat , Just in case, have you tried clearing or restoring your preferences? Sometimes Dreamweaver can behave a bit oddly when those get corrupted.

Here are a couple of links that might help:

You can also reset them manually when launching Dreamweaver by holding:
Win + Ctrl + Shift (Windows)
or Cmd + Opt + Shift (Mac)
