Hi Barbara,

 

Please follow below steps to disable underlining identical strings of the selected code in code view.

 

Steps:

  1. Quit Dw
  2. Open brackets.json file in a text editor from below location
  • Mac: /⁨Users⁩/⁨<user>/⁨Library⁩/Application Support⁩/Adobe⁩/Dreamweaver 2020⁩/en_US⁩/Configuration⁩/Brackets⁩/
  • Win: C:\Users⁩\<user>\Appdata\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver 2020⁩\en_US⁩\Configuration⁩\Brackets⁩\

 3. Search for the entry "highlightMatches" and set to false and save the file

 4. Launch Dw and check the behavior

 

Please confirm if the above steps disables the underlining of identical strings for you.
