Live Preview Issues with Media in Adobe Dreamweaver

Hello everyone,
I'm struggling with a problem in Adobe Dreamweaver where the live preview fails to automatically update when I make changes to CSS media queries. I ensuring the correct configuration in settings, Software update, clearing browser and Dreamweaver caches, and testing on multiple projects, the preview does not refresh to show changes unless I manually reload it.

Does anyone help me to fix this so I can efficiently test responsive designs?

    Don't expect any change in this behaviour going forward. The only fix is to go to an IDE that does update the Live view. That is why I jumped ship and am using Wappler.

     

    Wappler is the DMXzone-made Dreamweaver replacement and includes the best of their powerful extensions, as well as much more!

    Alongside Dreamweaver, you could use VS Code with Live Preview extension (both are free).

    Real-Time Preview has always been dodgy with my local testing server, so I don't use it. I test locally with static browser preview (see screenshot).

     

    Commit changes to the document with Ctrl/Cmd + S and refresh browser with Ctrl+R or Ctrl+F5.
