Dreamweaver CC 2017 Slow

Hi,

Am i the only one that experiences that the new Dreamweaver is extremely slow. When i open a standard bootstrap 3 design, i takes 7 seconds to open. And when the document is opened, it lags when i scroll in the source code - I only view source code - no preview/WYSIWYG. It feels lagging as if you start windows in safe mode without driver for graphic adapter.

I installed Dreamweaver CC2015.3 It opens the same document in 1 second. No lag and as fast as you would expect an text editor to be 🙂

Is it just my setup? or is anyone else have the same issues?

Im using a 8 core Xeon with GTX1060 graphic adapter.

Thanks for the reply Jon,

That's great you aren't experiencing any performance issues. My test setup involved running it on my Desktop and Laptop both running Windows 10 (x64). I don't have access to a Windows 7 machine right now so perhaps DW 2017 performs better on Windows 7?

Either way, the more info we gather the better! I appreciate it!

I checked with the product team, and they know that DW experiences slowness when handling a large number of files, or files from a remote location. They are investigating the causes.

Meanwhile, if there are other scenarios wherein you experience slowness, list them in this email thread, and I will log bugs for them.

Thank you for your persistence and patience while we resolve this issue.

Thanks,

Preran

I'm finding Dreamweaver CC2017 far too slow so I've gone back to Dreamweaver 6. Apart from the speed problem I have had continual freeze/crashes and the live browser feed only works sporadically.

I have a decent machine (MS Surface Pro) so there's no hardware reasons for the problems.

I look forward to Adobe fixing these issues sooner rather than later

Hi all,

Apologize for the delayed response. I have already posted my response above. See this document DIY troubleshooting kit for Dreamweaver for the common troubleshooting steps, and if they don't work, contact Customer Care.

A couple of you sent me your details, and I will raise a support case for you. I was unwell, and am trying my best to catch up on my backlog. I apologize for the inconvenience.

Thanks,

Preran

Hi,

The problem is speed/performance, and "DIY troubleshooting kit" doesn't address those issues. It may work well with one file open at time, but the most of us works with atleast 5-10 files simustaneously.

Dreamweaver CC 2017 is also incredibly slow for me and I have a pretty fast machine (i7-4770K @ 3.50GHz and 16GB RAM Windows 10 x64).

It also tends to lock up frequently when I copy/paste code into Code view from another source or when switching back and forth from code/design view. Note: I didn't have these problems with the recent Dreamweaver beta which I thought performed pretty well.

I've tried turning off code linting with no effect and I'm still brainstorming possible ways to improve performance. Hopefully Adobe will get enough complaints and either fix it or provide information on how users can fix it themselves.

Same with my Installation. After upgrading from cc 2015 to 2017 Dreamweaver hangs while changing sites, openning search form, opening files, ... for 10 to 30 seconds - frustrating

Is there any Chance to downgrade to 2015?

Windows 7, i5-6400, 16GB SSD

You can install 2015 version from the creative cloud app. Just open the Previous Version tab under apps. There you can install the version you want :-)

Im running 2015.3 but i really liked the Quick CSS Edit in 2017. So im currently testing Brackets - It has the same function, and it shows the CSS/function nearly instant, where as DW 2017 takes 3-4 seconds :-|

I bought 2017 CC 10 days ago. No previous version available in "my" cloud but I would like to downgrade.

Sadly Adobe gets more bloated on every release, maybe it's a better look, but the engine behind gets slower. I have the latest iMac with all the possible extras and still new Dreamweaver CC2017 is glitching (have tested on 3 other machines).

All the "smart stuff", like code hinting, search marking etc makes it really slow. I can't even select code, without delay, because it needs to highlight all other words.

Really disappointed!
