Since I updated my mac to Big Sur, all the code show up black.

I've tried to change the preference, did not work.

I also tried to reinstall dreamweaver and I still have the issue.

 

Anyone have a lead on how to solve this? In bigger project, it gets pretty hard to work.

 

thanks.

Hi,

 

Thanks for writing to us. Can you please confirm the code view font selected under Dw Preferences --> Fonts section and try performing below steps.

 

  1. Quit Dw and collect Adobe log collector tool logs by following the steps in the KB article at this link.
  2. Launch Dw and open preferences dialog under Dreamweaver menu
  3. Switch to Fonts section and kindly note the code view font name
  4. Change the code view font to something else (Times New Roman etc)]

 

Please share Adobe log collector tool logs over any sharing tool like Dropbox, Drive etc and confirm the font name observed in Step 3.

 

Please let us know if the above resolves the issue else we will further debug the issue.

 

 

Thanks,

Nayan

I've uploaded the log here : https://we.tl/t-eX6A5OXeMv 

Here are the fonts that I was using : 

 

Changing the font does solve the issue depending on the font I choose. Thank you.

Switch to a different code theme.

Preferences > Interface > Code Theme...

I've tried that, like I said in the post. It only changes the background color, not the text (that stays black without color differenciation between tags and text). I also made sure my file was being recognised as the good type of code with the dropdown at the bottom of the window.

Submit a bug report from DW help menu.  Also, submit a bug report to Apple.

Revert to your previous OS if you can.
