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.

Hi All,

I'm glad to let you know that we have fixed the slow typing issues in DW for the next DW update .

Look forward for the update on DW and let us know your thoughts

Let me also clarify that the slow typing was not because of any other reasons , but the recent tag highlighting feature

Thanks Harish - when is this to be released?

Will this also fix the slow file browser (which has massive lag when trying to scroll), and the opening of files (which can take between 5 and 10 seconds)?

The update fixed the slow typing/highlighting  issue for me. Thanks!

Finally, the loading bug seems to be fixed!!! Wow, after half a year ... thx anyway.

DW CC now feels much faster and work can be done without endless waiting.

[shambunashi]

Great to hear patch is successfully applied. 

Are you seeing the loading & opening problem with 13.2? If not, would it be possible to share the files to validate this internally? Please remove confidential data from your files & share them. we will try & keep you udpated - shambu at adobe dot com

Thanks,

Shambu

The loading & opening problem is gone.

The loading problem was probably caused by including CSS and/or loading additional fonts via CSS. Before the update I could only open some the files by first removing the CSSs file includes via textedit.

Maybe there were some missing files that had been linked to in side the CSS and DW was searching for them. So try reproducing the problem is this direction.

The overall speed improvement with this update makes DW a professional software again.

Great to hear loading problem is gone & Thanks for the udpating us.

We will also try & check if there is any issues around the workflow you have mentioned.

Thank you.

[DarthBender]

You're welcome. Please let me know if you need any further information about this.

Yahooooooo! Thank you for getting this huge bug taken care of.
Please don't let it happen again. I lost almost 2 days of work.

Same problem here.  Dreamweaver CC is totally useless to our team.  Incredibly slow.  The notion that it's a setting or machine performance issue, as has been suggested in this thread by Adobe staff, is a joke.  I'm personally on a 4k top of the line solid state MBP, and DW is useless for doing anything more than a minor code tweak. 

Also, why does the DW interface still look like an old Windows 98 machine?  Seems like this program has always been a bloated afterthought.

Same issue on MacboorkPro retina. I got the feeling that is has something to do with big tables in the html document.  And it only slows down in Split or Design View.

Hi All,

The latest version of Dreamweaver CC 2014 is now available for download.

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

Give it a try and let us know if you still face any issues.

[tyrell corp.]

i had the same issues i noted previously in cc 2014 as well.

but removing x11 from my mac & then deleting DW preferences & logging out / in has improved performance for me.  guessing there's some interference there, maybe related to java.

here's how to remove x11 on mac.

Be extremely careful when doing this, as a small typo could cause important files to be deleted and you may have to reinstall OS X! If you are at all unsure of what you are doing, back up all your important data first! I cannot accept responsibility for any loss caused by following these instructions – All I know is they worked for me.

The commands to delete everything are as follows:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app
sudo rm -rf /private/etc/X11
sudo rm -rf /usr/X11R6
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/open-x11
sudo rm -rf /usr/lib/X11
sudo rm -rf /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg


These can be combined into one line as follows:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Utilities/X11.app /private/etc/X11 /usr/X11R6 /usr/bin/open-x11 /usr/lib/X11 /Library/Receipts/X11User.pkg

same issue... 

big tables in html slow down DW dramatically

[Divya_b_c]

Hi Jo,

What do you mean by "big tables in html slow down DW dramatically"? Are opening these files slow or editing them is slow?

Thanks,

dbc

[Jo Jacobs]

editing is slow in design or live view.

[Divya_b_c]

Jo, is it possible to share your file with us?

Thanks,

How should I share it if not with this Link?

[pwillener]

Sorry, your link has now been accepted.  It was in the moderator queue in the midst of some spam messages, and got accidentally rejected with them.

[Divya_b_c]

Hi Jo,

Thank you for the file. I am not seeing any performance issues when editing the file in either Design view or live view. Can you please tell us on which OS you are and your machine configuration?. Also it would be great is you can record a video of the issue and sent it across to us.

Regards,

dbc
