CEPHtmlEngine quit unexpectedly

Report · Feb 27, 2017

I've noticed for a while that Dreamweaver CC 2017 crashes upon exit (100% of the time) with this error.

Additionally, I was drawn to a couple of things:

Application Specific Information:

abort() called

*** error for object 0x7f882ec4bac8: incorrect checksum for freed object - object was probably modified after being freed.

Crashed Thread: 0 CrBrowserMain Dispatch queue: com.apple.main-thread

and this, from thread 0 (particularly, step 15, referencing CarbonCore):

Now, I believe that CarbonCore was deprecated in 10.8, but it also looks like it's being called from an Apple function, so I am not entirely certain this is an Adobe problem.

Found a couple of forum posts that could work for DW as well:

CEPHtmlEngine slows Computer (Mac) and solution.

CEPHtmlEngine Helper more then 100%

If these solutions don't work, contact Customer Care using the link provided by Kanika in the second post.

Thanks,

Preran

Thank you, however, neither of those articles was useful for this case. They both addressed only what happens if CEPHtmlEngine is eating CPU time, which is not at all what is happening here.

This behavior only occurs when DW CC2017 is being quit.

Hi aramis,

I suggest getting in touch with Adobe Customer Care Contact Customer Care for further troubleshooting.

Thanks,
