When editing links text in live mode it only takes 1 click instead of 2

so I cant move links with the hand tool because when I try, it just immediately tries to edit the text for the link?

    This is a duplicate post.  As I said in your other one, Live view works with single-click now.  That's the normal behavior. 

     

    Simply click one time until you see a gold box around the selected area.  Or switch to Design view from your Document Toolbar.

     

    One click.

    In the video, I'm single clicking, not double-clicking any ideas? 

    I tried to reinstall many times, resetting the workspace and preferences.

    There is no hand tool in Dreamweaver.  Dreamweaver is code editor, not a click & drag graphic design app.

    no, it seems I'm stuck in edit mode like you don't need to double click to edit something, and moving up or down the DOM doesn't work.

    its driving me nuts lol

    Save your documents (Ctrl/Cmd + S) and restart Dreamweaver.

    I'm talking about the live view, not design.
