Hello, since updating my Mac with Sonoma, the software Dreamweaver 21.3 15593 edition crashes regularly, which is quite frustrating. For your information, everything worked well with the macOS Vantura version. Kind regards,
Daniel Coing-daguet
Hi All,
We hope you are continuing to stay well and healthy. We thank Apple for fixing the right click in code view crash observed with Dw 21.3 version. As per confirmation from Apple, fix should be available with upcoming macOS 14.3 update.
Have a pleasant day!
Thanks,

Is it a repeatable crash or random crash? If the former, can you post the steps to repeat the crash?

It's a recurring and consistent crash. I get the feeling it happens when selecting code to copy it. Of course, before updating my Mac, everything was working fine.

Restart computer.
Failing that, run Adobe Creative Cloud Cleaner tool to remove old apps from your system.
Perform a fresh install of Creative Cloud & Dreamweaver.

I just realized that simply right-clicking caused Dreamweaver to crash

@Deleted User - I can confirm what you are seeing. It is definitely a bug with Sonoma causing DW to crash when you right click.

Does right-click on Sonoma cause any other apps to crash?

No other apps have right click issues, and I can confirm it's only happening in code view. Live View/Design View, and other areas like the file browser, I am able to right click without issue.

For now, the problem comes only from DW.

Exactly, it crashes when right-clicking, only within the code.

Hello,
I would like to know if this right-click issue will ever be addressed, as I don't think I'm the only one facing this problem. It's quite bothersome. I do use the keyboard for copy-pasting, but old habits are hard to break and it causes crashes.
Thank you.

There's no timetable of if/when it will be addressed. Personally, I keep have started to do more work in another editor as DW has fallen so far behind.

Does it crash in Safe Mode?

I just tried and it also freezes in safe mode.

I've installed an earlier version of Dreamweaver, the 21.0. The latest one is 21.3. So far, no crashes with the right click. I will stick with this version for now, hoping that Adobe addresses this bug.
Thank you for your help

Hi @Deleted User,
Thanks for reporting the issue. We are able to recreate the issue with right-click in code view on macOS Sonoma. We will further investigate the behavior and provide an update on the resolution. Currently, we are unable to identify any possible workarounds except installing previous Dw versions 21.1 and below.
Have a pleasant day!

I have experienced the same thing. The solution on this page posted by Daniel worked but now I have to run an Intel version of DW until Adobe provides a fix.

Hello,
Currently, I am paying for a subscription to have access to the latest version of Dreamweaver. I reported a bug related to the right-click on September 28, 2023. I need to renew my subscription in February 2024. If nothing is done by then, I will not renew my subscription and will turn to another solution.
Best regards, Daniel
