Dreamweaver wont HIDE or stay HIDDEN on MacOS

Dreamweaver 21.3

MacOS Ventura 13.2.1

 

Everytime I go to Command+H hide Dreamweaver to access the desktop, etc it hides, then withint 1 to 2 seconds takes over. I admit this could be a MacOS deal, but none of my other apps, CreativeCloud or not do this. 

Is it because I run Dreamweaver in Split view Code/Live? Its never done this on previous versions of DW in the past. This seems like a recent phenomenon. I could use some help and totally admit to it could be my fault somewhere, but I would like to remove this annoying headache.

    This is a new one... I've not heard of Dreamweaver grabbing focus before.

     

    Can you minimize DW's application frame to access your desktop?  On Win, it's in the upper right corner.

     

    If you continue to have problems, try Restoring Preferences.

    Yes, like I mentioned Im on a Mac and I can minimize the Dreamweaver window, but being on a Mac, the quickest option for workflow is a MacOS option called Hide. Its hiding (going out of sight) and then immediately reappearing.

    DW's system requierments do not mention Ventura or Monterey for that matter.
