Quick Edit - No Quick Edit available for current cursor position

Greetings,

I am using the latest DW CC 2017 on Window 8.1 64bit. My site is defined, I have a linked stylesheet in the proper location. Whenever I attempt to use Quick Edit I get the message "No Quick Edit available for current cursor position".

When using the Brackets editor on the same web page the Quick Edit feature works correctly.

Is there something I have overlooked in DW CC 2017 configuration ?

There are previous discussions from last year suggesting to file a bug report. Is this still an issue ?

Thank you for any help,

-Rob B.

Unusual behavior in Dreamweaver? Try restoring preferences.

If that fails, use the CC Cleaner Tool below followed by a software re-install.

I solved this problem!
1. Delete all folders from older versions here - C:\Users\[user_name]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe
2. Delete all old entries in the register - HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\
3. Delete all old folders from the - C:\Program Files\Adobe
Everything is working!

Open Untitled-2.css and search for

.new

Do you see it in your stylesheet?

Where are you placing the cursor exactly?

It makes a pretty substantial difference, for example placing the cursor in the href of a <a> without a class like this...

     <a h|ref="somesite.html" target="blank">Some Link</a>

Will result in the error you are seeing. Placing the cursor in the same position, of a link that has a class...

     <a h|ref="somesite.html" target="blank" class="chaz">Some Link</a>

Will result in "Place cursor in tag, class or id"

     Moving the cursor to the class...

<a href="somesite.html" target="blank" class="ch|az">

     ...or to the tag itself...

<|a href="somesite.html" target="blank" class="chaz">

     ...and hitting Ctrl + E (or right clicking and choosing Quick Edit) will open the css window under the tag.

Thank you Jon Fritz II for your answer.

I am placing the cursor on a ex: ( class="crumbtrail"  ) and other classes in several different files in the same site.

Editing the same web pages, it works correctly in the Brackets editor v1.8, but not in DW CC v2017.0.1 .

Thank you for your efforts with this, most likely I will uninstall DWCC 2017 and continue to use the Brackets editor.

I haven't had any real issue with the Quick Edit feature in DW under Windows 7 or 10.

Before going through the uninstall process, it might be worth validating your code to see if there are possibly any errors that might cause DW to react incorrectly to a properly placed cursor when using Quick Edit.

You can check your code under File > Validate > Current Document (W3C) or go to http://validator.w3.org/nu
