Dreamweaver fails to show the hidden characters on the last tab that reopens on startup

[routeToWeb]

Every time I start Dreamweaver with the "Reopen documents on startup" option active, the file associated with the right most tab fails to show its hidden characters, whilst the other files do. I have to close the file then reopen it if I want to see the tabs, space etc. It's not a major bug, but it shouldn't be happening. Does anybody else have this issue and is there a fix?

What OS? Does it happen with all documents or just specific ones? 

[Nancy OShea]

It might be a graphics memory or site cache issue. 

Go to Site > Advanced > Recreate Site Cache. 

Or just hit F5 to refresh your screen.

Given that Dreamweaver is in minimal maintenance status, bugs don't get much attention.  DW is only receiving occasional security & compatibility patches now.

Did you try reset the preferences
Restoring Preférences

Clearing preferences

Manually or by holding Win+Ctrl+Shift or Cmd+Opt+Shift while launching DW

Thanks, Win+Ctrl+Shift appears to have worked. Bit of a pain trying to remember all the other preferences that were lost in the process, but hopefully they are all now back to how they were.

I’m glad that it helped you.

If you haven't already done so, you should consider synchronizing with your CC account, which is very useful to avoid losing a large number of settings - Synchronize Dreamweaver settings with Creative Cloud
