Cursor position misplaced in Design View

Question

I recently upgraded to Dreamweaver CS4 (Mac OS10.5.8) from DW8. Now, when trying to edit text in Design View, the cursor appears several spaces ahead of the characters it is actually editing. The extent of the misalignment is not regular (between .5 and 2 character spaces), but the cursor is always ahead of, never behind, where it should be. The problem does not occur in Code View, nor does it occur when using certain fonts. For example, Arial works fine but Gill Sans does not.
For now, I can edit in a working font and then switch to another, but I would welcome any advice as to a more permanent solution.

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.
