I am also using 150% and the Dreamweaver problem seems to go away if Windows display set to 100% (although have not tested it thoroughly to say for sure). But I dont want to use 100% since I its too hard to read. Every other app (like Word etc) has no problem with scaling set to 150%. I also have new Dell laptop with driver all up to date and display is 1920x1080.

OK. Let's try something different.
- Close DW.
- Restart your computer.
- Open DW.
- Go to File > New > HTML document > Framework: NONE. Hit the CREATE button.
- Switch to Code View and delete everything.
- Paste the following code into your blank document and SaveAs test.html
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=edge">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
<title>Test Document</title>
<style>
body {width: 70%; margin:0 auto;}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<h3>Hello World!</h3>
<p>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit. Sunt illum quo dolore consectetur asperiores quibusdam voluptatum quasi, mollitia, ea quidem similique ipsam itaque minima et voluptates numquam aspernatur qui consequuntur.</p>
</body>
</html>
Now switch to Split View. See my screenshot below. I clicked in the middle of a word in my Design panel. My cursor is located between the S & E in both Code and Design view exactly as expected.
What are your results?
With that test sample, my results are the same as yours. However, with my production site, I get the results shown below. You'll observe that the cursor in the design view is between the 'h' and 'a' of the word 'has' on the first line of the design view, but to the left of the 'h' in the code view.
Actually have code errors. See link below for details.
Emails don't support JavaScript so I don't understand why you would have scripts in an email newsletter. And you've got them at the top of your document which is wrong. Try removing the first 3 lines of external scripts and CSS code from the top of your document. The doc type declaration needs to be on the first line of code.
Even with the code problems mentioned above, my DW has no cursor problems. It displays the cursor exactly where I put it.
Hi and thanks for going through this thoroughly. I believe the DOCTYPE is set for HTML5, where all the other things are not needed, but I replaced it with HTML 4.01 Transitional to see if any difference, but there were none.
The JavaScript is only located on the web version of the email and not in the email itself. To see the web version, the user clicks a link in the email to preview it in the web browser, where they again can click to preview a smaller image as a bigger image. The JavaScript is used for this image pop-up functionality that is only on the web preview version and the code is inserted automatically on that page, so I am not working on the JavaScript version locally. I will ask the programmer to change the placement of the scripts, as I did not check for that.
Below you can see how the cursor is in the middle of the letter "S" in the Design view and correctly displayed in the Code view. I had no cursor issues with this few months ago, but have issues now if I open those files.
