Question

v21.4 Randomly ceases ability to copy and paste code and displays the wrong code for page

What is going on? Why does this happen? No keyboard shortcuts work... going to Edit > Select All is ignored, too... 

I can type in code, but no clipboard ops?

 

Save is also Disabled? Are you kidding?  

 

When I try to Save As, it tries to save a completely different page in the editor - the first tab,, not the current active tab!

 

When I try to then save the first tab, I get this cryptic message: 

---------------------------
Dreamweaver
---------------------------
The file you just saved is also open in this window.
Reload the saved version in this window and lose changes?
---------------------------
Yes No
---------------------------

 

What on Earth does that mean? I just bloody saved the file, of course it is open in the window...

 

 Whati s happening, Adobe?

Go to View > Split > Code & Design.

Copy & paste (Ctrl/Cmd + C, Ctrl/Cmd + V) should work in either panel.

 

Live view has some notable quirks.  I rarely use it while editing code or content except when I'm checking layout & styles.

For quick toggle between Live & Design view, use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + F11.

 

Hope that helps.
