Cursor issues in Dreamweaver CC 2017.0.1 - build 9346

[LauraJosepha]

When I am in the design mode (wysiwyg), and I paste some text in a cell of a table, and start typing right after that, the cursor has moved from directly after the pasted text to right after the closing bracket of <td>. (I can see this in the split mode, where I see the design and the code.)

I've tried to move back from right after the closing bracket to right after the pasted text, by using the arrow buttons on my keyboard, but the left arrow brings me to right before the <table>-tag, and the right arrow brings me to after the </table>-tag!

This means I can't simply paste some text and type on, but have to manually move the cursor by using the mouse. This is annoying, especially since I have RSI. Does somebody know how to prevent this?

I read this same question here: Cursor Moves on Saving. This was a post from 2006, and no-one aswered.

I have a lot of html-files that are meant to be practically the same, with some small adjustments. When I am typing in the code view of a html-document (01.html), somewhere halfway in the document, and I hit Ctrl-Shift-S to save this file with a different file name (02.html), it opens automatically in a new Tab. (Which I don't like, but I read in Re: New "Save As" behavior?  that it is not possible to change this behavior.) I hit Ctrl-W to close the new tab (02.html), and want to start making adjustments where I left off in the last document (01.html). But when closing the 02.html-tab, the cursor in 01.html has jumped to the beginning of the document! I have to scroll through the document to find where the small adjustments have to be made. Does somebody know how to prevent this?

I save and name my new document first before any editing is performed -- lest I forget and mistakenly overwrite my original. 

Unless you're working with tabular data or an HTML email, tables are not needed for layouts.  In fact, they are discouraged because tables are not responsive.  An ordinary <div> or HTML5 tag is what most people use.

When copying & pasting,  I always use Edit > Paste Special  (Ctrl+Shift+V) > Text Only .  That way I'm assured no tags or unwanted formatting are being carried over.  This is especially true when pasting content from MS Word or Excel.
