Copy & Paste Failing: Dreamweaver CC 2018

On multiple occasions, I've experience Copy and Paste failures. Or, rather, unexpected behaviors.

  1. I copy a line of code, and paste it somewhere else in the same document.
  2. Then I copy another line of code, and paste it somewhere else.

Only, the second paste, pasted what was copied the first time. From then on, the only item working in the edit menu is paste. Even if you copy something from outside of Dreamweaver (TextEdit) and paste into Dreamweaver, it still paste what was copied the first time.

When this is happening, Dreamweaver is the only app behaving this way. Tells me it must be limited to Dreamweaver.

From what I've read, on other forums, I'm not the only one seeing this. Yet, it's not a topic here.

I'm running MacBook Pro (15-inch, 2016) / 2.7 GHz Intel Core i7 / 16 GB 2133 MHz LPDDR3 / OS X 10.13

The Dreamweaver CC 2018 I'm using is Build 10136. I just updated to it yesterday (10-23/2017).

Hi All,

 

We have fixed the copy-paste issue in the latest Dw 20.0 update.

 

Request you all to try out the latest Dw update and provide your valuable feedback on the same.

 

Thanks,

Hi,

Thanks for reaching out. We did fix some Copy/Paste issues in Dw CC 2018 but there are some still left in our plate. For your scenario, can you please help us by recording a video clip when you face the issue and share it. We will certainly try and pick this up.

We have the same issue in Dreamweaver CC 2018.

Bug seen on Mac OSX 10.10.5

Seems to be only when you copy and paste from within Dreamweaver.

Copy from external program and paste into Dreamweaver is fine.

    Hi all,

    For us to better investigate, can you provide us with answers to the following questions? Most of the copy paste issues have been fixed, but from this post, it looks like there are some that still need investigation.

    1. What platform & version/build Dreamweaver is running on?
    2. Is DW in Standard or Developer workspace. And a screenshot of the DW workspace
    3. What is document view(full code view, split design/live view, undocked document) when the issue starts appearing.
    4. Does the issue start while user is working on DW or after he switches from other app/Desktop to DW or after user minmizes & maximizes DW.
    5. What are the steps user was doing just before the issue occurred like FTP operations, switching between documents, etc.
    6. Is the issue specific to Ctrl+C & Ctrl+V operations or the issue is occurring with other KB shortcuts like Ctrl+A, Delete key, Ctrl+D(duplicate line), etc
    7. When the issue starts occurring, does pressing Ctrl+A or delete result in executing these operations in any of the open panels like Files Panel or DOM panel
    8. Does the issue occur only on selecting code using mouse or even for selections done with keyboard
    9. Once it occurs, does clicking outside Dreamweaver and redoing the selection in code help in resolving the issue
    10. Share a small video clip demonstrating the issue happening? (Please note: as the issue is a focus related issue, it might occur when screen capturing app is running)

    Thanks,

    Preran
