Dreamweaver code view letter spacing issue

Good Morning at all,
This morning when i've started DreamWeaver i've seen something change.
As you can see in the picture below in the code view, the letters spacing is became really bigger than the normal.
In the picture below i've done a piece of code with my dreamweaver in the top and in the bottom with one of my friend.
When i try to change the font from the preferences menu (for example Verdana) the problem seems to solve but when i change again to Courrier New the problem return.
What can i do?
For me it is really frustrating to work with this problem and I do not understand why it bothers me so much,
Thanks for the help guyes!
Manuel.

To change code formatting, go to Edit > Preferences > Code > Indent.  Then use Command > Apply Source Formatting.

  • ClearType makes fonts in Dreamweaver code view hard to read

    I'm using Dreamweaver 8.0.2 with Windows Vista Business. As
    you know, Vista has a feature called "ClearType," which is supposed
    to help smooth out the on-screen fonts. It normally does do this,
    but for some reason, in Dreamweaver code view, some of the edges of
    fonts are cut off, making it very difficult to read at times. See
    pic here:
    http://www.klife.com/fontscutoff.jpg
    I've tried changing the display fonts within Dreamweaver
    (from Courier New to Arial, etc.), but it doesn't help. Actually,
    Arial is worse. But here's what fixes it: turning off ClearType. I
    haven't noticed ClearType messing any fonts up in programs except
    for Dreamweaver. Why is DW doing this and is there anything I can
    do to get ClearType to work with it?

    You might want to try Clear Type Tuner. It is a Microsoft
    tool to let you
    adjust your clear type settings to your liking. It was
    written for XP. I'm
    not sure if they have a Vista version out yet, but the XP
    version might
    work.

    Here is an online version, which I have not tried.

  • Dreamweaver code-view keyboard shortcuts

    I'm fearing the answer is no, but is there a way in Mac Dreamweaver code-view to enable the standard OSX keyboard shortcuts?  It seems that the Windows shortcuts are the only ones which work.
    For example, CMD+right arrow should jump to the end of the line, whereas in reality it jumps to the end of the word.  'end' is required to jump to the end of the line.   Other shortcuts I'm thinking of are listed here: http://www.gskinner.com/blog/archives/2006/07/mac_text_naviga.html .  In essence, I want Eclipse-style shortcuts to work in DW.  CMD+D to delete a line would be helpful as well.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    I'm pretty sure you're right: the answer is no. If you want Adobe to adopt those shortcuts, file a feature request through the official form at http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform.

  • Dreamweaver CS4 Code Letter Spacing Issue

    Hello,
    I am currently running Adobe Dreamweaver CS4 on my Macbook Pro. We use it on a daily basis to keep our corporate website up-to-date. During the past few weeks, we have developed a very odd issue in the DW code editing pane. The letter spacing is completely off, which is odd considering that the font is monospaced. A large space will appear between characters even though no space is actually there. I have included a screenshot below of some new code I recently entered. Notice the space between the form names and the apostrophes. It appears as though there is one space between the name and the apostrophe, however there is none. The code still works fine, but this becomes very frustrating when attempting to enter new code.
    I should also mention that none of my code developed prior to approximately two weeks ago has been effected. Only when I attempt to enter new code is the spacing effected.
    Is this a known issue? Any ideas of what could be going on?
    Any input would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!
    Jon

    Oh, you're welcome!
    I know, so many of these things you don't find with a cursory review of menu-items and preferences. Then when you need them, you might not have noticed them first time through.
    That's one reason I like the Forums: you learn things you didn't know you needed to know...
    I've noticed that system fonts change from system to system, and sometimes you "lose" a font when you go to a new computer.
    Best,
    Beth

  • 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.
    Screenshots.

    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
    See screenshots below:

  • Why won't Dreamweaver code view allow me to select from all of my system fonts?

    I am trying to change the font for my code view in Dreamweaver CC.  However, it does not let me choose from a list of all fonts installed on my computer...it just gives me about 50 or so random fonts (some of them glyph fonts which are completely useless in this scenario).  It doesn't even include basics like Courier.  I had previously been using CS4, and it allowed me to choose any font I wanted.  Any ideas?

    I've just checked Dreamweaver CC on my MacBook Air. I don't know whether it lists every single font on my machine, but the list was very long. It certainly wasn't just a short, random list. Are you trying to change the Code view font in the right place?

  • Dreamweaver: code view - building links

    Working in code view, does Dreamweaver have prefs to have the following behaviour with respect to creating links:
    User selects some text in a sentence that will be the anchor for the link.
    User selects an html file from the project file list.
    User drags the file and drops it on to the text that will form the anchor.
    What happens:
    The selected' text is replaced by the contents of the title tag in the html file that was dropped onto it.
    What the user might expect to happen (because it's the quick and intuitive way to build links but no other editor appears to have this functionality, apart from Homesite):
    The selected text becomes the anchor of a link to the file that's just been dropped onto it.
    Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
    Mark

    Is there a pref in Dreamweaver that allows me to change this behaviour?
    No, but you can always select the text and use the bull's-eye icon to drag and drop on the filename, an even more intuitive way to make a link.

  • Dreamweaver code view problem with Turkish fonts

    All my preferences is set to Turkish encoding, but only at the code window Turkish characters aren't displayed right. If i type directly into the code window, everything is ok. but if i write something to design windowi the characters change automatically. i'm attaching a picture to show.
    thanks in advance.

    What you see there is not a problem. It's the expected result.
    When the Web first started, it supported only unaccented characters. So, to create letters like ö, it was necessary to use HTML entities, which is what you see in Code view.
    Nowadays, browsers support Unicode (UTF-8), which doesn't need to convert accented characters.
    Go into Preferences (from the Edit menu on Windows, Dreamweaver window on a Mac), and select the New Document category. Set encoding to UTF-8. To change existing pages, use Modify > Page Properties, and select Title/Encoding.
    With UTF-8, ö will still be ö in Code view.

  • 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?

  • Zoom  in code view

    So I love code view, allows me to really keep everything
    clean. But the txt is a bit too small. I know I can zoom with my
    os, but is there a way to do this only in dreamweaver code view?
    Thought about changing the code font and size, but not sure if that
    will effect page rendering
    ???

    > Thought about changing the code font and size,

    dreamweaver preferences-->Fonts-->Code View
    pick a font and a size. it has nothing to do with what shows
    in a browser.
    make it 300pt zebra bold.

  • AS3, htmlText, bold b throwing of letter spacing. letters crashing into each other.

    I have an htmlText field that holds a few paragraphs of text that is pulled from an xml file. There are <b> bold tags within the xml node.
    When a section of bold text is in the middle of normal text, the normal text will crash into the beginning & end of the bold text, see pic:
    I'm assuming that the bold text and the regular text  have different letter spacing so I removed the  ".letterSpacing = .2;" from the font declaration in order to let the text render at it's normal letter spacing. That helped a little in making the crashing a little less but it hasn't cleared it up completely.  Also, depending on the font size, the letter crashing acts differently.
    Is there a way to better control the letter spacing of bold text next to normal text in a dynamic text field?
    Thanks in advance for your reply.
    Zak

    I'm going to try using CSS with my dynamic textfield to see if this solves the letter spacing issue. Has anyone used CSS in dyanmic text field to better control the spacing between bolded & normal text?

  • 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.

  • Dreamweaver CC automatically deletes code in code view and elements in design view

    When I open a file in Dreamweaver, it automatically shows a * next to the filename - showing it has been edited.
    Then often when I select some code in code view, or an element in design view (such as a table, an image, some text) it is suddenly deleted.
    The problem is especially bad (happens without fail) if I am switching between programs. But also happens when I'm not switching.
    I do not have this problem on a different user account.
    I have reinstalled Dreamweaver three times now. Also renamed preference and configuration folders. Tried with a wired mouse and keyboard. Nothing has worked.
    I can't think what I did to cause this. I installed MAMP recently - but have uninstalled it correctly I think.
    I had an issue with one file in which there were about 30 Spry collapsible panels. I kept getting this warning:
    "A script in file Macintosh HD:Applications:Adobe Dreamweaver CC:Configuration:Shared:Spry:DesignTime:EditingUtils.js has been running for a long time. Do you want to continue?"
    I have to click 'yes' many times to get into the file, and the warning keeps coming up while the file is open.
    However, my big issue of DW CC deleting code and elements happens whether or not this particular file is open.
    So this may have nothing to do with it.
    Any ideas anyone?
    Adobe's customer service has not helped. In fact, I have not even been able to get through to anyone on the phone - having waited literally hours listening to music, and getting shunted from person to person. And then their promised 'call backs' never happen.
    Thanks,
    - Greg

  • DreamWeaver CS5 Crashes In Code View

    So, I've upgraded from CS4 to CS5, and everything was working fine for a month, but yesterday DW5 seems to be crashing evertime I click on a specific ASP page, in code view, and more specifically in the vbscript section of that page. I can be anywhere else on that page, but if I click in or cursor into the vbscript section, instacrash.
    I can open other asp pages in the site, and some don't crash it, but this one particular page is a guaranteed full crash when I click anywhere in the vbscript section of the page.
    Config is DW CS5, WIn 7 x64, 6GB RAM, everything fully patched and updated, both OS and CS5 apps.
    I have four minidumps already from today. Productive work is impossible. Any solutions?

    Did you ever figure out the answer to this problem? I'm having a similar problem where if I try to edit ANY code in dreamweaver, it crashes.
    Example of code
    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
    <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
    <title>Untitled Document</title>
    </head>
    <body>
    </body>
    </html>
    See what I mean by any code? Even a fresh bare bones HTML doc crashes when trying to edit in any way, letter, space, del, backspace, etc.

  • Dreamweaver cs6 keeps adding br tags in code view

    Hi
    I've just upgraded to Dreamweaver cs6 and am having trouble with the code view. When typing in <script> tags or <style> tags I keep getting two <br> tags automatically inserted. It is really annoying as it puts them on two lines and takes time to remove them and completely disrupts your flow when typing code or css.
    Any suggestions on how to prevent this happening?
    Thanks.

    Thanks David - I think that may well explain it. It seems to happen mostly when adding a { in code or CSS. I wonder if I'm still holding the shift key when I hit enter for a new line. I'm trying Dreamweaver again after using visual studio for the last 5 years or so. I wonder if I can just change the keyboard shortcut.
