Cursor position while editing in Design mode

Question

I have the latest version of Dreamweaver installed (18.0). When in design mode and editing text, the cursor is off by one position from the location the character is actually inserted/deleted/replaced. The cursor shows one character to the right of where it should be.

In Windows Display settings, are you using Normal (100%) zoom?

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.

I have exactly the same problem, which has lasted for maybe few months. The issue started after one of the latest updates of Dreamweaver. It is a hassle to edit text in the design view, since you never can place the cursor correctly. It looks correctly, but when you start typing, you most likely will type letters at the wrong place. It works fine if I go to code view, but if you have other letters than the English alphabet, you are in trouble again, since they are not translated automatically as if you type them in design view. It regards all web projects I have. I thought maybe it had something to do with Bootstrap, but I just edited a plain newsletter page with only few css styles and no link to any Bootstrap and the issue is still there. Many times the cursor is also just blinking in the middle of a letter and I need to guess if it will type to the left or to the right.
