Copy & Paste Fails [Branched from unrelated topic]

Community Beginner ,
Nov 08, 2025 Nov 08, 2025

I am using Dreamweaver version 21.6 Build 15711 and frequently the copy and paste fail to paste the text copied from code view. Closing Dreamweaver and opening it again does not solve the problem.  The only way I have found to get Dreamweaver to work properly again is to close dream and reboot my Windows 11 PC.  Something is seriously wrong with the new version of Dreamweaver. After 26 years, I am about to stop using Adobe products and switch to something more reliable.   The "scanning for related files function" is not user friendly.  When I try to save a code file while the scanning is running I get the message, "Cannot save documents while scanning for related files".  The scan does not give the option to pause the scan to permit one to save and continue.  The scan takes too long to complete.  The only way I gave found to break out and save is to try to close the file you are trying to save and then canceling the close with stop the scan so you can save the file. 

Have a blessed week,
Richard Wendrock
