Unexpected Behavior

In editing in Design View, I'm getting some unexpected behavior. If you look at the screenshot, you can see that I have highlighted two words so I can edit them by overwriting them (I wanted to replace You have with How's the. But as soon as I begin to type the new word, that New CSS Rule window opens. Any idea why that's happening? I should add that this only happens when I highlight words to replace them. I can add words without the window opening.

Thanks

Alan

    I hear what you're telling me, but this has only just started a month ago and I've been using DW for three years now. I have a suspicion that a latest release has caused this. How can I contact DW techs?

    That is pretty weird. I don't think I've seen that one before.

    Have you tried restoring preferences yet?

    Did the reset but it's still happening. It's making editing very tiresome having to close that window three times each time it opens.

    Does this happen every time you highlight text and try to replace it with something else, or only when hitting the Shift + H in the word "How"?


    Have you done a full restart of your system after restoring prefs?
