Code View Wordwrap Bug

In code view window, with wordwrap, dreamweaver hides code characters on the right edge of window.
It only hides 3-4 last character of the largest line.
Is it a bug? Does anyone notice it?

I have also faced this issue where if code's line is large and WordWrap is enabled, then it Dreamweaver CS6 actually wrapped it but hides 3 to 4 characters which is not select able or even view able. See the attached screenshot, you will see Dreamweaver CS6 hides some characters of my line which is definitely something wrong with the DreamWeaver.
Can anybody found the way to avoid it..??..I cant allow the WordWrap to be disabled and scroll it with that pathetic horizontal scroll.

Bug in Code View font spacing - very annoying...

Hello,
I encounter a really annoying bug in the last version of Dreamweaver CC. The font in Code View is too spaced in the new version...
See below for screenshots from CS6 and CC to see the difference.
I'm using the font Courier New 9pt in both version...
Please advise.

Dreamweaver CC - Notice the font spacing

I've managed to change the font to "Source Code Pro" in the Regeditor here: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC\Font Preferences.
Style, the font is not as good as it was with Courier New... And Courier New is not working... I'm looking to have a normal Courier New in CC... Or at least anothe similar font... Not light as Source Code Pro...
Thanks

Pasting smart quotes and apostrophes in code view.

Sine upgrading to Dreamweaver CS5, I haven't been able to copy/paste smart quotes and apostrophes into code view without them automatically being converted to straight quotes.
For example, the following sentence (notice the curly quotes):
John’s new song is called “DW Blues”
would get pasted into Code View as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
Notice the smart quotes and apostrophe are replaced with single and double ticks, or "straight quotes." While this seems like a minor detail, it's extremely important to our writers and editors to have them appear on the website exactly as typed.
If I do the same copy/paste in Design View (doc type is XHTML Transitional), it appears as:
John's new song is called "DW Blues"
The characters are still replaced, and the straight quotes are then entity encoded (as expected).
This doesn't happen with other valid UTF-8 characters like ™, ®, —, etc., or with any other code editors I've used, including DW CS3.
Is there a hidden preference somewhere to disable this "feature," or is it just a bug?
Please help!

It's now 4 years since jsparacio posted this, and I just wanted to let everyone know that I had -- and am still having -- the exact same problem with Dreamweaver CS5 (running first under Windows XP, then Windows 7, and now again with Windows 8.1). So it's not just Macs that are affected.
FWIW, I have set my DW CS5 Paste preferences to the 3rd of 4 options available
    1 - Text Only
    2 - Text With Structure
    3 - Text With Structure Plus Basic Formatting
    4 - Text With Structure Plus Full Formatting
in the EDIT > PREFERENCES > Copy/Paste Preferences dialog box.
But the Paste Special command ignores this setting, giving me only the first 2 options from which to choose, with option 2 the default selection for Paste Special operations (options 3 and 4 are grayed out, and can't be selected).
According to David Sawyer McFarland's _Dreamweaver CS5: The Missing Manual_ (O'Reilly Media, 2010), the reason these are grayed out is because I am pasting unformatted ASCII text which I generated in a program editor called "UltraEdit":
    "... Choose EDIT > PASTE SPECIAL to open the Paste Special window. Here, you can choose which of the four techniques you wish to use ... sort of. You're limited to what Dreamweaver can paste. For non-Microsoft Office products, you can use only the first two options--the others are grayed out--whereas you can choose from any of the four with text copied from Word or Excel." (McFarland, p. 81)
Regardless of such restrictions, standard copy-and-paste (CTRL+C followed by CTRL+V) works just fine for me using Dreamweaver CS4 (i.e., I have never needed to use the Paste Special command), but with DW CS5, neither Paste command (CONTROL+V or CTRL+SHIFT+V) works properly with typographic/curly/smart quotes.
All typographic quotes -- ASCII-0146 and ASCII-0147 (double quote marks); plus ASCII-0145 and ASCII-0146 (single quote marks, for quotes within a quote) -- are converted to inch (" is entered in the code) and foot (' is entered in the code) marks when I copy-and-paste text with these characters into Dreamweaver's Design View.
When I copy this same plain ASCII text directly into the code (rather than using Design View), typographic double open & close quotes are converted to the inch (") mark, and typographic single open & close quotes are converted to the foot (') mark.
The beginning of this week, I installed Dreamweaver CS5, ver. 11.0, Build 4909 under Windows 8.1 OS on my new Ultrabook. I was hoping that under Windows 8.1, DW CS5's handling of typographic quotes might improve so that I can actually use this program that I purchased 4 years ago. Alas, no such luck: I continue to have the same problem I had when I first upgraded to Dreamweaver CS5 back in August 2010 (then running under Windows XP on my desktop computer).
Back in August 2020, when I first asked about fixes, I was told to change the Title/Encoding setting of Page Properties to "Western European" -- which I tried, but it didn't work then, and it doesn't work now ... and even if it did, it wouldn't be a proper fix for the problem as I have plenty of good reasons for wanting my HTML page Title/Encoding set to Unicode (UTF-8), not Western European ("charset=iso-8859-1").
The ability to copy-and-paste typographic quotes is such a big deal for me that I chose back in August 2010 to revert to Dreamweaver CS4, which I've been using ever since.
It is *very* frustrating that, 4 years later, I still can't use this program, and shall be reverting to DW CS4, yet again.
I continue to be completely flummoxed by this. Every other program with which I am familiar converts non-typographic quotes to typographic/curly/smart quotes ... never have I seen the process automated in reverse!

Code View Toolbar Issue

I've had a weird issue under Dreamweaver 8.02. It started
under Vista and of course I blamed the OS and went back to XP. Well
now it's occurring there as well. It all happens in code view which
is where I work all the time. The toolbar buttons will not work. I
can't move to Split or Design view or edit the title from the
toolbar.
I've tried looking around in the toolbar XML files, but
nothing seems to help.
Any thoughts?

It sure does happen for me, and I'm using CS3 on
Mac/WXPPro/Vista.

Code View issue

In Dreamweaver 8, when you place your cursor at any point in
Design View, that area will be automatically selected in Code View.
For some reason, this doesn't happen in Dreamweaver CS3. I hope
it's just a bug and gets fixed soon. It's a very useful feature,
and until things are clarified, I'm switching back to Dreamweaver
8.

It sure does happen for me, and I'm using CS3 on

Dreamweaver 8 freeze in Code-View

I have a Site: ASP/VBScript; Testserver local;
When I open my function libary (file: funktion.asp with 5000

Dreamweaver 8 freeze. I know I'm not the only one with this
problem, but I didn't find a fix/workaround.
It should by a Dreamweaver/File problem, because all
Developer in my Team (five developer) have the same problem.
With DW MX 2004 we had no problems! Since last week we use DW

Help! Can't paste into code view or property inspector

I'm experiencing a weird and extremely annoying bug in Dreamweaver CS6 -- I can't paste text from outside apps into DW's code view or into the property inspector (such as URLs).
Pasting doesn't work no matter the method: Ctrl + V, right-clicking or using the Edit menu. Pasting works normally in every other program. If I copy within Dreawmweaver, pasting works fine.
Does anyone have a solution for this? I'm running Win 8 and DW 12.1 through Creative Cloud. Searching the forums, I see others have reported the same issue. Some have been able to fix it by deleting the configuration file; that didn't fix the issue for me. I'd like to try reinstalling DW, but the Adobe Application Manager doesn't seem to allow that.
I began noticing this bug about two weeks ago. That might have been about the same time I updated to 12.1. Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Cory K.

Adding to my last post, I used a clipboard format inspector called nclip (http://code.google.com/p/nclip/) to see if I could find a pattern between "what works" and "what doesn't".
There are two cases where I'm seeing paste-into-Dreamweaver CS6 fail:
Paste into Code View fails, but Paste into Design View works!
Paste into either Code View or Design View fails
I went through the list of programs that worked and didn't worked, using nclip to show what clipboard formats were being saved from each working and non-working source. It appears that DreamWeaver CS6 as of January 9, 2013 doesn't accept the most basic text clipboard formats:
CF_UNICODETEXT
CF_TEXT
CF-OEMTEXT
CF_LOCALE
If these are the only clipboard formats used by an app (for example, Window's venerable Notepad.exe), Dreamweaver doesn't appear to handle them. Most programmer-style text editors output just these formats, because they are presumed to be understood any application that handles text. These fail for both pasting into codeview and design view.
Interestingly, Chrome browser fails the code view test, but it does work in design view! It outputs the four clipboard types above, plus one more:
Custom Format: HTML Format
Hypothesis 1: Any application that puts HTML Format on the clipboard will paste into design view, but not necessarily code view.
Next, Visual Studio 2010 and Sticky Notes, which doesn't include HTML Format as a clip type, works for both code view and design view. They both output this type in addition to the basics:
Custom Format: Rich Text Format
Two programs that output Rich Text Format without HTML Format are Sticky Notes and WordPad. These both work with Code View and Design View. From these limited tests on my system, it appears that for Dreamweaver to accept a text paste from an outside program into Code View, that program must output Rich Text Format to the clipboard. Otherwise, it fails. Dreamweaver will accept HTML Format, but only in Design View. Firefox is an exception in that it don't export Rich Text Format, but still works with Code View. It might use OLE, though (Chrome doesn't seem to use OLE, and it breaks in code view).
Hypothesis 2: Any application that puts Rich Text Format on the clipboard will paste into design view AND code view.
If Dreamweaver is really ignoring the basic text clipboard formats, and it's not just my system configuration, then this is a bug. Probably something that got overlooked in testing.
To reproduce on Dreamweaver 12.1 build 5966:
Try copy/pasting text from Notepad.exe into Dreamweaver Code View (DWCV). This fails for me.
Try copy/pasting text from WordPad.exe into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Internet Explorer 9 or Firefox into DWCV. This works!
Try copy/pasting text from Chrome. This fails to paste into Code View, but does paste into Design View
The Code View workaround:
Use Firefox or Internet Explorer for your browser if you're copy/pasting source code.
If you're working from another text editor, try copy/pasting into intermediate programs Sticky Notes or WordPad, then copy/paste from there into Dreamweaver.
So that is my experience on Windows 7 64-bit. Anyone else experiencing the same thing?

Scrolling horizontally in Code view with tilt-wheel mouse.

I'm having an issue with scrolling horizontally via my mouse's tilt-wheel, side-scrolling feature. I'm using Dreamweaver CS6 in WIndows 7, but perhaps the bug may apply to CC as well.
When I scroll sideways, the scrollbar moves, but it loses all of it's styling (gradient effect and draggable icon) but the view content does NOT move at all. After side-scrolling, if I click anywhere in the Code view, the styling resets and the content tries to reconcile with the scrollbar's location, and the view breaks, like this:
Scrolling vertically past these lines and back resolves the text breakage. But, horizontal scrolling is still a pain unless I make the effort to drag the scrollbar with my cursor.
I've considered it being a driver issue, so I reinstalled them and restarted. I've installed legacy versions and restarted. No dice.
Has anyone else experienced this? Why is tilt-wheel side-scrolling different than clicking the right arrow button? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks Jon.
But, I'd rather not word-wrap. I see plenty of how-to's for word-wrapping, so I'm not sure if I'm really alone in wanting to visually maintain longer lines, or whether hardly anyone else has tilt-wheel issues, or that they don't find it worth posting for help about.
Hm. I'll keep looking for a solution for a while longer.

Can I lock the code view?

Apologies in advance if this has been covered, but I haven't been able to find the answer to this...
When working with a split view (usually live), every time I make an amendment and update the live view, my cursor position or code view jumps to the end of my document. Is there anyway to lock the code position or cursor so that when I click on my live view, the cursor doesn't automatically go to the appropriate code and stays where I was editing?

Code View Scroll Bar Jumps + High Processor usage

In Code View, if you click at the bottom of the page -if the vertical scroll bar is present- the scroll bar jumps one or two lines up.
I know about another bug i.e Dw uses 15 to 30% of the processor at all times, I hope it'll get fixed soon or I'll have to find an alternative.
Lemme know if you know of any solutions.

Windows 8 RP Build 8400 -it happened on Windows 7 as well.
Dreamweaver Version 12.0.1 Build 5842 -I guess it's correct, I installed an update in the hopes of having this problem fixed but no luck yet.

Working in code view selects whole blocks of text when a page is opened for the first time

This is really annoying feature of dreamweaver, I assume it serves a purpose but I do not know what it is. If I open a document (I generally always work in code view) then select the area I wish to, say, copy and then press control and c, the whole block of code becomes selected (so my selection expands). That isn't what I selected so why does it do this? If I click outside the code view - on to css styles for example - then I can now select the lines of code I want and can work with the code as intended. If I save the document, tab to another document in dreamweaver and tab back again, the same happens. So, everytime I open a document I have to click CSS styles before I can work with the document as intended. I've been working with this for a while and it's go to the point where it makes me cry. It's not quite as annoying as working with the old ftp service but it's not far off.

Thousands of blank lines in code view? Where did they come from?

I have an older DW site, that for some reason when I open certain pages in code view show literally thousands of blank lines. So line 1, code, line 2-15 are blank, then what used to be line 2 of the code, is now line 16. All the way down the line. This one page literally has THOUSANDS of blank lines in it:
Aurora Prom Corsages, Boutonnieres, Flowers, School Dance Flowers-Yorkville, Osego Illinois
page renders, edits and looks fine in DW, browsers, etc.
My client edits it with Contribute. I use DW.
There are certain pages he opens regularly, never saw the lines, other pages, just opens once a year, lines all over again.
We can't find any rhyme or reason to it.
Has anyone ever seen this?

Try opening one of those pages in DW and then go to Commands > Apply Source Formatting and see if that cleans them out.
I've heard of a bug where adding html comments can cause added blank lines in certain versions, I've never seen it myself though.

Code view redraw problem

http://www.screencast.com/t/SFy5Snl9
Had this problem since the latest update or so. Opening a page and checking split view or code view gives a blank screen. Closing and opening page restores code.
Mac, DW 5.x OS 10.6.7
Reported this as a bug.

Had this SAME problem on my MacBookPro (10.6.4 and CS5) onyl it happened most when I did a "save as". The new document would open and the code section would be empty. A "hard reboot" would remedy it for the first time I repoened DW, but once I closed it and repoened it, the problem came back. I just learned to live with it since it wasn't damaging the integrity of the documents, but it would be nice if they had a fix for it.

Code view line height

I am on Mac OS X Yosemite using DW CC 2014. Code view is set to Source Code Pro. The problem is that line height in code view is smaller than the font height -- or something like that.
This screenshot demonstrates what I mean. Look at these characters: {,},y,g and see how they are cut off at the bottom. I've tried to fix this by changing fonts but most other fonts show the same problem. Changing font size in DW preferences also does not fix it. I tried changing the Source Code Pro set altogether using Suitcase Fusion. That did not help either. When I try to use Source Code Pro in other apps it works fine. So this seems to be a DW-specific problem.
Any ideas?

Hello Almir,
The issue is due to missing fonts: Tahoma and Verdana. We have a bug logged for the issue and will looked into.
Kindly follow the below workaround till the issue is fixed.
1. Launch Font Book from /Applications/
2. If Tahoma and Verdana fonts are disabled, enable the fonts
Or if the fonts are missing, install the fonts.
3. Launch Dreamweaver
Let me know if the workaround is able to fix the issue for you.
Regards.

Always open files in code view (with option to switch back to design/split)

I almost never use design view and it's very annoying that Dreamwaver CS4 can't seem to understand and remember that. I can be editing a file one day in code view, and when I open the file again the next day it opens in design view!? Is there a setting for this somewhere or is this a bug? Any suggestions for a solution?
Someone suggested I add the relevant suffixes in the "Open in code view" field (Preferences > File Types / Editors) but Adobe has decided that if I choose to always open a certain file type in code view via this method, I will not be allowed to temporarlily switch to design/split view.
Any other suggestions?

All I can suggest is that you post an official feature request via the official form and wait for Adobe to implement something in CS6 or CS7 (assuming the feature set for CS5 is set in stone by now).
