CS4: Tabbed panel headers misplaced in Design view

Question

If I add a Spry tabbed panel to a blank page, it behaves
fine.
But if I add a tabbed panel inside a table cell, then the
tabs themselves detach from the body of the panel and appear up at
top left of the table itself.
When the page is viewed in a browser or in Live View, it
sorts itself out, so the issue affects only the Design View afaics.
It's annoying though, and the misplaced tabs obscure other parts of
the design.
Does anyone else get this? Is it a known issue?

Answer 1

I am having the same issue with Dreamweaver CS5 for Mac. I also can’t find any way to fix the issue other than quitting dreamweaver and re-starting the program.
I doubt Adobe will ever fix it, since I’ve had so many issues with Dreamweaver going back to Macromedia days that Adobe still hasn’t bothered to fix since taking it over.
I just hope someday another company will create a product that works well and I can throw Dreamweaver into the trash.
I know that isn’t a very constructive post, or an answer, but maybe if I subscribe to this thread someone will eventually have a solution.
I have tried changing the display fonts in preferences, zooming in and out of the Design view, with no results (if the cursir is offset, zooming in with design view won’t change the offset.
It just sucks when you have an editor you can’t edit with and an FTP client you can’t use to move files around with. I basically have been reduced over the years to using Dreamweaver strictly as a code editor and will most likely be switching to something like BBedit and getting Dreamweaver completely out of my life.
