Dreamweaver Web Pages Disappearing

I looked around the forum site for this question, but found on discussions related to this.

I've noticed that when I go to my browser to view my latest changes, that when I return to Dreamweaver, all of the pages I was working on are gone. The only one left is the one I was working on before I changed windows. Any comments / solutions related to this issue.

Well it's 11-12-2017 and the original problem persists. I looked away from my screen with DW open while I was updating several pages at the same time. When I looked back I found that the pages I wasn't working on had disappeared from the bar that lists the pages you're working on. This is the first time in a long time it has happened since I made the original post...but it did do it again. Also I've found that if I scroll up from the bottom of the page with unterminated DIVs the program freezes and I have to close the program and restart it. Some days it'll happen several times. Some days - no problem. Are these bugs weird or what. I don't believe it has anything to do with what I'm doing,, but are real bugs in the program. I just updated my DW to the most current version - Ver 18 - and will see if the problems reoccur.


7 months later and still no screenshots.  

Which operating system do you have?

Are you saying the Related Files are losing focus when you go to another app?  See screenshot.

Can you provide some screenshots or a video screencast of what is going on?  I've never seen this reported before and have never experienced it myself.

You mean gone as in deleted? What operating system and DW version are you using?

I have the same question as Brad.

The question I have is did you manage your site? I know pages aren't visible in the files panel if the site isn't managed.

Yes, I do manage my sites. The way it happens is that I do my updates to my web pages in dreamweaver and move them to the remote server (through FileZilla) and then review the changes through my browser.

It just sometimes happens that when I go back to dreamweaver the files I had updated prior to the one I'm working on now

are all gone. Strange....
