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,

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.

    Same issue with copying and pasting code from Dreamweaver to other text editors/other applications. Seems to only copy and paste within Dreamweaver documents only, anything else does not register.

    My computer was recently wiped clean and upgraded with more RAM so I've installed the latest versions of Adobe programs.

    iMac (21.5-inch Late 2013)

    Mac OSX 10.13.5

    Dreamweaver 18.2 10165 Build

    I've had to shut down Dreamweaver multiple times or restart the computer to get it to work. It's inconsistent.

    ------

    What platform & version/build Dreamweaver is running on?

    Mac OSX 10.13.5

    Dreamweaver 18.2 10165 Build

    Is DW in Standard or Developer workspace. And a screenshot of the DW workspace. What is document view(full code view, split design/live view, undocked document) when the issue starts appearing.

         Standard. Split Code-Design + Vertically. Design View Left.

    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.

         So far. No set pattern. Just happens whenever.

    What are the steps user was doing just before the issue occurred like FTP operations, switching between documents, etc.

         Switching between Google Chrome Browser + Dreamweaver or InDesign

    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

          All the shortcuts work (Ctrl+C , Ctrl+V, Ctrl+D). But copy does not transfer to any other application other than within other Dreamweaver documents.

    Does the issue occur only on selecting code using mouse or even for selections done with keyboard

         Same issue. Have tried right-click cut/copy/paste - will not work.

    Once it occurs, does clicking outside Dreamweaver and redoing the selection in code help in resolving the issue

         Nope.


    Have the same problem for months now.

    Had it on my previous Mac, on my now brand new Mac again. Suddenly copy-paste works fine within DW and outside DW, but not between DW and any other non-Adobe app, nor Safari, Chrome, nor Numbers or Pages. Text can be transferred to Illustrator, but from Illustrator to Safari . . . No!

    After repeated re-installs and cache-clearings, this seems to work:

    Copy the text the Mac shows outside DW into the DW-file. Copy that together with some DW-text in the file into Safari. It will show.

    From that moment on, you can use copy-paste any text from DW intone external app without problems, until the copy-paste block re-appears, and it will.
