Selecting Code View window does NOT select the Dreamweaver application?

Report · Nov 14, 2016

When I'm going back and forth between a browser window (to test) and the code view window (where I'm... you know, coding), Dreamweaver doesn't think that I've selected... Dreamweaver.

You can't do anything when you've clicked inside to Code View window, no typing, no pasting. Nothing. You have to click the parent Dreamweaver window and then click on the code view window to be able to do anything in the Code View.

Super frustrating and hurting workflow for a number of us.

Is everything docked in the Application Frame & Maximized?

When it's docked it works well.

But when it's undocked it's back to the same thing. Even windows doesn't acknowledge that you've clicked on the inside of Code View. (if you open the start menu and click inside of Code View it won't remove the start menu).

This did not happen in previous versions. I think that code view isn't reporting that it's the active window to windows.
