[Locked] Background file activity truncating

Starting just a short while ago in Dreamweaver CC 2019, the background file activity window has been truncating results at about 350 lines. Deletions, uploads, downloads are all affected. It will show the usual start of the operation, and the lines moving past in the window, but when it gets to roughly 350, one of the lines is truncated and no more lines are produced. The operation appears to complete, as evidenced by the scrolling file names under the site files window, but it's not showing the progress in the actual activity window like it always had before.

Aside from killing all my preferences (yet again), after reading that's not fixed it for others that have seen this in the past, is there a way to get that back again?

 

Windows 7 64bit, Dreamweaver CC 2019 (11193 build)

    I also have had this problem for some time, over several versions. In addition, the number of files to be downloaded in the background activity window is grossly exaggerated. At this moment I am downloading approximately 15000 files from a folder. on my server. Currently Dreamweaver tells me that I have downloaded 5279 of 42,510!

    This sounds like a memory problem.  I don't mean to be obvious but have you restarted your computer?

    It's restarted daily, and I have 16GB of RAM. It's never done this with any prior version of DW, only 19. Even first thing in the morning, 350 lines or so is all it will allow.
