GIT commits to repository but DW hangs and needs to be force restarted

I am new to using Git with DW.

On a MacBook Pro when I use Git it does commits to the repository but DW hangs and needs to be force restarted every time.
What can I do about this?
I am using MacBook Pro, GIT and DW2021

    This has been driving me nuts for ages. I noticed that when it hangs and you swap quickly between apps the Git Repository window reappears. This has led me to think it might be a timeout issue.

     

    So my workaround when pushing to the repository, is to move the mouse quickly around the screen until the push is finished. No more timeouts.  🙂

     

    Please let me know if this ridicules workaround works for anyone else?

    Hi @Suthern_Buckeye, @RTMF,

     

    We hope you are continuing to stay well and healthy. We have resolved this behavior with Dreamweaver 21.4 update, please let us know if you are still facing this issue with Dw 21.4 on your machine.

     

    Have a pleasant day!

     

    Regards,

    For as dumb as your solution sounds 🤣, in my using it since you posted this I've not had things crash when working with the Git Respository.

     

    Thanks for sharing! Hopefully at some point Adobe will fix for real, but I'm not sure I will ever notice now.

    This actually worked for me as well! Moving the mouse while the files uploads stops the timeout. Thanks @Bobby_Solo

    Have you tried restoring preferences?

    I tried restoring preferences. DW still crashes after I post to Git

    Not a lot new to report, but I spent almost two hours on Thursday with a tech while they tried to make it happen (which it happened more than I thought it was going to). They took notes and all sorts of log files and said someone would contact me from a higher level support. 

     

    As I was waiting for them to work with the machine, one thing I realized was the sites that I have more trouble than not with are pretty large. Smaller sites I almost never (or never) have this issue with. I am wondering if it has something to do with the size of the site and the number or size of objects or files or total commits. I'm totally just guessing here, but thought I would throw it out there.


    This issue is still going on and it's happening with more regularity now. It's beyond just being annoying...
