Css copy paste problem still a problem in Dreamweaver CS4

Hi all, I know this one has been discussed before, but this is still a major usability issues with the product with no practical solution available.
For some reason no one seems to be able to mark http://forums.adobe.com/thread/209290?start=50&tstart=0 as unanswered, yet numerous posts stating it isn't resolved.
Therefore, I'm starting this request to see if there is a solution.
For those of you unaware, the issue affects Dreamweaver CS4 code view.  After editing in code view (usually with CSS files though others have reported other code types) for a little while (sometimes within seconds, sometimes after many minutes of use) and then when you copy (Ctrl-C) the application selects all text and copies that.  Usability wise, you've just lost your place in the code (which you may have spent some time finding in a complex file) and what you wanted to copy is not what's in the clipboard.  So frustrating.
The issue is similarly repeated with pasting (i.e. you select some text or a place to paste and the system selects all before pasting from clipboard).
So does anyone know of a patch to fix this yet?
Thanks

  • Copying, pasting and editing audio problem?

    hi, i have some audio tracks that i originally recorded in pro tools le
    (no plugin delay compensation if using uad's or other 3rd party plugs dont even go there by the way)
    and have exported them to logic 8 and changed the arrangment for a song.
    The problem is when i cut and paste sections of an audio track to a different part of the song, if i trim, cut, mute or pull it back it changes the part of the audio that i originally pasted it from?
    how do i stop this from happening?
    can anyone help
    thanks

    Once you've copied/pasted the new region to where you want it, select the new region and press:
    OptionCmdF
    You will then be prompted to give a new filename for the audio file. This generates a new file, which can be edited separately from the original.

  • Problem with a function of Dreamweaver Cs4

    Hi. Excuse me for my bad Inglish, but i am italian. I have a
    problem with Dreamweaver CS4. Before I have used the last version,
    CS3 and there were a function call image viewer (Insert >
    Multimedia objetcts > Image Viewer). In this new version, this
    function there is not. It's possible create the same effect with
    another function?
    Thank's

    The size of one line is 1024.
    if(bArray.length == 1023){
      out.write(bArray);       
      byte[] temp = new byte[1];       
      temp[0] = 100;       
      out.write(temp);     
    }else{       
      out.write(bArray);     
    In the 27 row the JCO trim the length of the line to 1023 bytes. The last byte is 100.
    And for this Problem I add the byte.

  • Css copy paste problem in Dreamweaver CS4

    Having a problem in CS4 when I want to copy and paste things
    in my stylesheet.
    Whenever I do ctrl +c to select a something the whole
    stylesheet gets selected. And that is not what I want.
    Even is I want to copy something from an other css into the
    css I am working on it won't do the job.
    Anyone having the same problem and found a solution?

    I observe this problem too on my Vista x64 machine with CS4
    using dual monitors and split code/design views, and have found
    others who have this problem by searching Google.
    Description of problem: Roughly 50% of the time, when
    switching between files (regardless of type) and trying to select a
    block of code with my mouse (dragging over some code with the left
    button), it appears to work normally (the intended code is
    highlighted). However, when then attempting to CTRL-C (cut) or
    paste, the selected code instantly changes to a much larger block
    of code (usually selecting a specific div block or something). The
    cut or pasted code is then the larger (unintended) block of code.
    Once the code view selection works for a particular file
    (either it worked from the start or I poked at it long enough to
    work), it seems to remain working until switching to another file
    and then returning.
    Also, Dreamweaver CS3 didn't have this problem, so it's CS4
    only.
    This is a workflow nuisance much like a word-processor
    deciding to insert a % character randomly every 10 seconds while
    typing.
    I found a Google groups thread
    here
    in which a poster writes that deleting the Dreamweaver
    configuration file fixes this temporarily (the problem eventually
    shows up again, and you lose all your customizations by doing
    this). The posters in this thread also describe the same problem
    with other hardware configurations.
    My current workaround is to type return then backspace when
    dropping in to the code-view of another file--kind of a pain, but
    at least predictable. I also tried avoided the issue by: (a)
    selecting something in the design view and then selecting something
    in the code view, and/or (b) telling Dreamweaver to show the
    "element view" (right click in design view, element view, Full),
    but this latter action may be superfluous.
    I'd be very interested if someone were to post a simple fix
    for this problem.
    thanks!

    PS. David: I've learned a lot from your books. Thanks for
    writing them!

  • Update problems & still more problems.

    When my itunes automatically updated last week it failed.  I then got all the error messages everyone else is getting.  I followed a link on here and moved certain files onto my desktop and rebooted.  No luck.  I then followed the next step it suggested and uninstalled itunes.  When I go to reinstall it the download never happens.  It goes as far as save to file then never really downloads.  My other friends who've had the same issues went straight to download and it worked.  I'm so frustrated plus the same time all of this happened my sound disappeared.  I've checked all my wires and went into the control panel to check all the settings and everything seems fine.  Don't know what to do now.

  • New user...how do you drag or move or copy a file or folder from the desktop to an external drive?  I have tried dragging and copy/pasting.

    new user...how do you drag or move or copy a file or folder from the desktop to an external drive?  I have tried dragging and copy/pasting.

    My guess the problem you are running into is the drive is formatted for a PC as NTFS. OS X can read files from NTFS however it cannot write to it. Check the formatting on the drive, if it's NTFS then it should be reformatted to Mac OS Extended (Journaled), you can use Disk Utility to do this.
    If you still have a PC and want to share the EHD with the PC and Mac please read MacWorld's Share an external drive between a Mac and a PC article.

  • Editor - Cut, Copy & Paste styles

    Using the package from http://www.calcom.de/eng/dev/cctxt.htm but it doesn't seem to work with cut, copy & paste styles
    Still the cut, copy & paste styles should still work but not quite sure if its my IntroductionDocument class causing the problem or those methods. Attach is my working editor to download from:
    http://home.pacific.net.au/~akhalil/editor/editor.zip
    The problems is:
    * When I cut text with bold and plain, the whole paragraph goes bold?
    The bold text Introduction is the first word of the document but still
    it shouldn't effect the whole paragraph.
    * When I paste, loose the bold styles but get the remanining plain text fonts instead.
    If you could help me out, I would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Hi dhhyde,
    If you are having issues with your cutting, copying and pasting items from your iPad, you may want to try some things to troubleshoot.
    First, quit all running applications and test again -
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Next, I would try restarting the iPad -
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    If the issue is still present, you may want to restore the iPad as a new device -
    How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
    Best,

  • Copy / Paste into Skype

    In windows 7 you can copy/paste into skype no problem. 
    In windows 8 you can no longer copy/paste into skype. 
    This seems like moving backwards so I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong.

    I was wondering if I can set my area code as a default when placing calls? Sounds trivial but I make a lot of business calls and like to copy/paste the number directly into Skype’s call box, most do not have the area code attached which is needed unless I can find a way of getting Skype to use a default area code. Skype needs all 10 numbers to complete the call, so I'm having to enter 916 each time I place a call.
    *email address removed*
    Thanks, Kevin
    Since Skype is an international service, setting a default domestic area/city code is not possible.  If you are regularly calling the same group of people, you could define them in the contacts list of your Skype program or phone app.  When you do that, you could put in the international country code and area/city code before each number.  If you are using a Skype app on a mobile phone (i.e., iPhones), you can also make use of the phone's contacts list - if they are set up with the international country code and area/city code for each number.

  • Problem with Dreamweaver CS4 workspace

    Hi
    I have just installed the Adobe CS4 Design Premium software on my Macbook Pro (OS X) and I have a problem or two with the Dreamweaver CS4 workspac:
    1) When I have no file open, no matter which workspace I choose from the drop down list, I have a "see-through" area where files are generally displayed (see attached screen shot). This means I can see my desktop picture, or any other open files, in the background. This is very desturbing! If I click in that open space it also takes me out of Dreamweaver.
    How can I get just a basic grey background in my workspace, instead of the silly see-though??
    2) I have no close, minimize or maximize icons at the top left as I have in Photoshop or Lightroom!?!!  Why is this and how can I get it there?
    Thank you very much in advance for anyone who can help!
    Villiers Steyn

    I have the same problem - just installed Dreamweaver yesterday on mac. Will be interested to see if anyone has a solution for this!

  • Problems doing copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator

    This is a problem I've had since Flash 8: when doing a
    copy/paste from Flash to Illustrator (on Windows), there's extreme
    degradation of the artwork, sometimes to the extent that no actual
    art is even copied. All the curves seem to be approximated with
    straight line segments, but at some point it just seems to give up
    even trying, leaving an unidentifiable blob for most of the object.
    As I said, sometimes it doesn't even copy anything at all -- all
    that shows up after pasting into Illustrator is an empty group.
    The weird thing is that this process worked fine in Flash MX
    2004. What could possibly have changed? I was sure with CS3 it
    would be fixed, but it wasn't. I haven't tried Illustrator CS4 yet,
    but copying from Flash CS4 to Illustrator CS3 produces the same
    problem.
    I've seen a few other reports of this problem in other
    forums, but I've encountered it on every install of Flash and
    Illustrator I've tried (admittedly, all Windows machines, but three
    or four different ones, both XP or Vista). Can anyone here confirm
    that this problem exists or doesn't exist on their computer? To
    test it, create a piece of art with plenty of curves and several
    colors in Flash, then copy and paste it into an illustrator
    document.
    If this problem is as widespread as my experience seems to
    indicate it is, why hasn't it been fixed in two major revisions of
    the software? Is Adobe even aware of it? If not, how can I let them
    know? I'm getting majorly sick of having to deal with it.
    Illustrator used to be a much larger part of my animation process,
    but now I can't use it how I really want to because of the bad copy
    and paste functionality.
    -David

    Hi,
    The integration between Flash CS3 and Illustrator means you
    can copy objects from Illustrator to Flash and i think if you copy
    from Flash to illustrator or Photoshop, you would not get a good
    results.
    You can solve your problem by exporting your Flash work as
    .AI.
    Your idea about the ability to copy from Flash to Illustrator
    is a good idea although Illustrator can not read some of the Flash
    imported information correctly. But it is still a good enahcement
    idea. There is a link where you can add suggestions but I do not
    remember it and I am replying using mobile, so my browsing
    capabilities is limited.
    I will try to post the link here when I got to my back normal
    connection
    Thanks alot!!

  • Copy & Paste problem stops working

    I've been experiencing an unusual issue with the copy and paste function on my MacBook Pro. The copy & paste function appears to work fine after I've restarted the computer, but after a short period (can be hours or days) the copy & paste function stops working. Instead of copying the highlighted section (usually I'm copying text) when I go to paste the text, all I appear to get is one space. As I use this feature countless time in the run of a day (copying from mail, Daylite, NeoOffice, Text Edit...)this is turning out to be very annoying.
    I have recently re-installed "MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.11Intel.dmg" to see if that made any difference, and everything seemed to be working great for about 5 days, then the same issue started again. If I shut down and re-start my Mac, it seems to offer a temporary solution to the issue.
    I have not tried re-installing the operating system.
    Thanks in advance.

    Amazingly, I found this looking for a fix for the exact same problem. Mine started today, though it could have been yesterday as I don't remember using copy or paste yesterday.
    The one change I have made in the last 48 hours is that I installed the MS Office SP 1 update that just came out. I know it was working right after that update because I was using copy/paste in Word.
    The other difference I've found is that a restart doesn't seem to fix mine. I just restarted and still no copy/paste - just a single space instead. And you're right, it doesn't matter what you copy, it always pastes just a single space.
    I've tried CMDC/CMDV and the menu items to the same effect.
    I hope someone has an answer.

  • Click 2 call and excel copy/paste problems

    Recent posts from late May claim that the click to call issues were resolved in late may. Today is June 21/12 and I resolved the problem yesterday by un-installing the click to call program. Prior to that cut and copy requests were losing the marquee around copied cells and when target cells were right clicked the context menu did not include Insert Copied cells. 
    Some problems may have been addressed but the problem still exists. It's too bad because click to call was a good feature.
    Solved!

    The problem was identified and fixed already in an update to the Click to Call toolbar in April: http://blogs.skype.com/garage/2012/04/skype_click_to_call_fix_for_of.html
