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.

    Yes, I have the latest and *cannot copy & paste within DW nor can I

    undo*!  I am very dissatisfied with this product since the last two

    recent updates.

    Also, UNDO no longer works, and the JS that Adobe uses for preferences are now prompting alerts for opening, saving and putting files - and user has no way to fix it.  I am going back to CC 2017. 2018 versions are terrible and certainly NOT WORTH THE MONEY we are paying. Can no longer do the simplest of tasks.


    Hi elcy​,

    We are not able to repro the issue.

    Could you please tell us steps/workflow that you are performing, for which copy, paste and undo are not working for you.

    Could you please try clearing the preferences and relaunch Dreamweaver and then check if it works for you.

    Also, please let us know your OS and Machine Configuration.

    Thanks and Regards
