Dreamweaver CC slow typing performance [ awfully slow ]

[radiant99]

Hello

I updated my Dreamweaver CC last week trough the cloud, and all of a sudden Dreamweaver feels slow and i cant even see the characters i am typing in realtime.

For a programmer , needing Dreamweaver on a daily base, this is rather annoying.

The code is 8000+ lines long, but it all went well before the update. I tried smaller scripts ( 2000+ and 5000+ lines ) and it behaves the same.

I tried a empty document and it does lag slightly ( even if there is no code ) as well.

Please do somoething about this, as it is a no go for my company. We have 4 other guys that are experiencing the same problem and mind you, we are all paying our CC monthly fee.

The same thing is happening to me.  I am within days of dropping Adobe products in favor of Open Source as a result.

@Jo, i am still not able to reproduce the issue with your file on MacBook Pro. Can you please share a video of the issue and the exact steps you are doing (example: which line number are you editing). Also can you please share your machine configuration?

@Sloww4sdfs, Are you seeing performance issues with all files? Can you please give us the exact steps and a video of the issue you are facing. It would be great if you can share your files as well.

@jo, which version of DW are you using? If you are not on the latest version, can you please download and install the latest version and check if you are still seeing the issue?

The latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014.1 is now available for download.

Download it from https://creative.adobe.com/ or directly through the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Thanks,

dbc

Your spam filter is probably seeing the automated "forums_noreply" address as spam.

You aren't being emailed directly, a copy of the forum responses are sent to your email automatically when you follow a topic.

The fine print from the email you posted gives you the directions to stop those automated emails, or you can add the noreply email to your email inbox whitelist.

I'm running into the exact same problem.  Dreamweaver slows down to a crawl if the page has a large number of tables (ie rows).  It's practically unusable at this point.

One thing I did notice is that this seems to be related to the Finder somehow.  When the application is active everything is slow.  If you click on the desktop enabling the Finder, then attempt to scroll through the tables in Dreamweaver without making the application itself active, the scrolling and all other features are smooth.

So what I've been doing clicking on an area I want to work on in Dreamweaver, clicking the Desktop to enable the Finder and Dreamweaver quickly moves to where I want to go, or enters the text, code, changes, etc, quickly.  Click back on, everything is slow again.  Back and forth...

Using OSX 10.10.1 on a Late 2013 Mac Pro

[Sloww4sdfs]

My work around is that I am shifting everything I do in Dreamweaver to other programs, then I am canceling my subscription.  I have already found a replacement for Photoshop.

[exworld]

Yup... I've been very disappointed with Creative Cloud so far.  It's a good idea in principle, but Adobe is not executing it properly.  All the apps feel like their constantly in beta.  Bugs everywhere, nothing works like it used to.  It seems every time I do an upgrade things get worse, especially with Edge Animate.  Don't understand how mature products like Dreamweaver and Photoshop are this buggy...

[Elvis Z]

Agreed, I mean take a look at the 'fixes' made over a year ago;

• Typing gets progressively slow as the number of lines of code increases.
• Cursor (IP) disappears while typing and navigating in Code View.
• Dreamweaver Crashes on closing a tag by entering </ in Code View.

????

How on earth can a big professional development team miss all that before releasing? And who suffers? The people paying the $$!

And I am getting the same typing issue again.

This CC model appears to be seriously flawed...after many years supporting Dreamweaver etc. I feel inclined to now investigate alternatives, I simply cannot afford to have software that is so buggy.

Same. They are not listening, they are replying on their paying customers to help fix bugs for them. Goodbye Adobe! After 10+ years!!!!

[drew86]

I've got the same problem

[dslottdesign]

I am having the same sluggish problems with the most recent dreamweaver CC. I uninstalled and reinstalled the application 3 times today and I still get the spinning color wheel with every move and selection, typing etc. Any solutions to this?

[Nancy OShea]

Does this happen with all files and sites or just certain ones?

Does this happen with a new, blank document?  If not, then something in your code is creating latency issues.  But what that is anybody's guess.  We would need to see a link to your online page.

[elaine montoya]

Hey Nancy...I'm having the same issue. Just as a comparision, I opened a file in Dreamweaver - and it took forever to open, feeling like DW was going to crash. I opened the same file in Brackets - and it was amazingly quick. Opened the same file in Sublime - also very quick. Definitely appears to be a DW issue.

[davidj11831177]

I had the same problem with Dreamweaver responding very slow with external links. Just updated to OS X 10.10.2 and no longer have the issues.

[:: Wayne ::]

I have been watching this thread for a solution but nothing has worked for me. I have the same issue as most and it is extremely frustrating working in DW CC. I have cc2014.1 build 6947 and is is really slow in design view and code view - forget live view, I could get coffee everytime I make a change! Everything is slow from typing, resizing a window, switching between design and code view, selecting css style etc, etc.... Just tried to resize a design view and my whole pc froze and explorer crashed. The problem also causes other open programs to slow down while DW CC is open.

I have now switched back to cs6 as it does not have this issue so I am confident it not my PC or code that is the issue.

[Its me.]

SAME ISSUE ON MAC.  Dreamweaver CC is too slow to use.

iMac 10.8.5, 24GB ram, Fusion drive. Dreamweaver CC Build 6982.

Machine is fast on everything else.  Dreamweaver impossible to use.

Goes like this… Click, beach ball, click, click, beach ball.. repeat.

If I had to guess, it's a connectivity timeout problem looking for a resource that is not available, timing out, then looking again.

Moved it to my imac at home and have same slow behavior. 

Most disturbing this issue has gone on for months and months on both platforms (PC and Mac).

[Elvis Z]

Going on for months for many of us. The right thing Adobe should do now is acknowledge the problem and tell us that they are working on a fix.

But instead they ask for specific machine details/settings. Well I would think is obvious by now that it is beyond what machine/OS/security we all have. Come on Adobe, fess up to the problem! Tell us what you are doing about it!

I have moved on to other products for my web work now but there are still aspects of DW that I like.

But I am now getting close to shutting down my Creative Cloud account as a statement and I'll make do with what else I can find! (and don't forget the power of word-of-mouth)

[Its me.]

[MORE THINGS TRIED TO IDENTIFY CAUSE OF SLOWNESS PROBLEM]

PARTIAL HELP… Appears to me that once a site goes slow it cannot be brought back to fast again.  Appears if remote site goes unavailable for any reason, the long delays start (I think). I unchecked using the remote server in Site Management for the site I am working on. It seems to help, however it's still 50% painfully slow.

THIS WORKS FOR A WHILE… If you start with a fresh site, it's fast and works like a dream. Then something happens, somewhere, and it goes into click, beach ball, click, beach ball… mode.

Given the tremendous amount of error checking and UI overhead to run CC, and the 'cough' magical things that seem to happen with every click, I'm not surprised dreamweaver has become slow. They gotta get this fixed and soon. It's been well over 6 months since I first started seeing this, and thought it was just me.

[:: Wayne ::]

I don't want to jinx it but I think they have finally fixed this problem in the latest release. Update was pushed through yesterday and now DW CC is lightning fast again. Did seem to reset my view though so maybe it did a bit of a cleanup?

Latest version 2014.1.1 build 6981

[Jo Jacobs]

Where did you get this version? Mine is 2014.1.1 build 6947

[Elvis Z]

I saw that too and so decided to try and get the new version. No joy, error in update. Ended up in chat with Adobe to finally get the update. I had to delete the 2 AAMupdater folders and then run the update again from the Creative Cloud thing. Like Wayne, I don't want to jinx it but it looks OK so far.

Was it the AAMupdater folders? Or the update? Who knows...Good luck.

[Jo Jacobs]

Where to find the the AAMupdater folders?
