Dreamweaver properties panel is half hidden / obscured

I recently installed Dreamweaver CS4 on a Win 7 laptop and noticed that some of the elements on the properties pane are half obscured so you can't see them (see highlight in attached screenshot). I've tried moving the panel to other parts of the screen and tried to see if I could drag to expand it, but nothing seemed to work. Any ideas on how to fix this? The screen resolution is 1280x1024, same as it was on the previous computer running XP which did not have this problem.

Is it possible to edit multiple box-shadows inside the Dreamweaver Properties Panel ?

Is it ?

Nopes , Only the first one is editable .

Still can't dock Properties Panel at top in CS5

While I'm pretty happy with the improvements to Fireworks CS5 what I'm most annoyed with what Adobe didn't fix: Allowing the Properties panel to dock to the top!
This was something that you could do in CS3 and earlier, but was removed with the CS4 UI redesign, supposedly for suite consistency. I was hoping it would finally come back in CS5 but no luck.
Seems ridiculous to allow the 900-pixel wide Properties panel to dock to the sides but not the top! Not to mention, most other CS products (except Dreamweaver) have similar Options or Property inspectors at the top...so if they're going for consistency, they should allow the Fireworks Properties panel to dock the top. And, yes, I wish I could I move the Dreamweaver Properties panel to the top as well.
Thanks for letting me vent...submitting a feature request on this wasn't enough.

What would be the advantage of docking it at the top? I cant find one myself.
What kind of answer is that
What is the advantage of having it docking at the bottom ?? Surely it's a matter of personal preference ? Why have it dock at all if you think it should always be at the bottom ?
I've been using Fireworks for years and (for reasons I can't remember) have always had the Properties panel docked at the top.
Now, after paying lots of money to upgrade to CS5, I really can't believe that it won't let me have the panels arranged like I want them !
This may seem like a trivial issue, and I'm obviously not a normal user, but it's annoying me so much that I don't even want to use FW CS5

Dreamweaver not displaying properties panel

I am having trouble getting my properties panel to display its options. I have it there, but it keeps always saying that I need to refresh the code to get it back, but otherwise the panel is blank. I can go to the properties under modify and properties, but it's quicker if I have access to it on the Dreamweaver interface. I am on a Macbook running 10.9.2. Is there an issue that's keeps it from refreshing in the OS? Or did I do something to have it do this?

If you change some code in Code View, you need to either hit F5 or click in Design View to get the inspector's options back.

CS4, Half Missing Target button in Properties Panel

Hi,
I was wondering if anybody has ever since this: my target button in the Properties Panel is only half visible (and not the good half). I have tried to change the view, even rest it, close and re open the Properties Panle, but nothing works. Anybody has any idea ? Thanks !

See if this helps at all...

Dreamweaver CC, Properties Panel

I'm testing a Dreamweaver CC version, and the Properties Panel display no data. Why ?

Switching back and forth between DWCS4 and DWCC on my machine, the Properties panel functions the same way when selecting items.
Could you post a screenshot of what you're seeing, maybe that would give us a hint at what's happening and how to fix it.
Maybe something has gone corrupt in your config folder...

Properties panel in Adobe Dreamweaver

DreamWeaver in Win7: cannpt see the Properties Panel

Can anyone tell solution to this problem?
I've installed Dream to Windows 7, works fine, but I cannot see the Properties Panel
Solution is, to set Font Size in Control Panel to "Default (100%)"

That fixed the problem - thanks!
I did have both of those fonts ON already, but noticed that there were other versions of Tahoma and Verdana (with lower version numbers) that were OFF. I switched OFF the newer versions and switched ON the older versions of Tahoma and Verdana and the properties box was full of text, buttons, etc. just like it was supposed to be.
I've spend hours talking with Adobe, who said it was probably a problem with my display drivers and sent me to Apple. Apple said they were no longer supporting the ATI board in my 2009 MacPro and that I would need a new computer. I told Adobe and they said they would continue working on the issue, which they have - I've received several phone calls and emails from them, but no solutions.
How weird that running the newest versions of Tahoma and Verdana caused the problem and turning them off and using the older, Microsoft Office versions solved it. Must be a lesson here, but I don't know what that would be.
Thanks again!

I just loaded the program and I have the Properties Panel half cut off vertical and parallel. Is there a way to reset it so I can see all of the panel?

CS4- properties panel not displayed correctly

I just installed Dreamweaver v10. The properties panel information is being clipped. Does anyone else have this problem?

Good evening,
make sure your dpi is set to default 96 dpi, I had this problem because working with a small screen and old eyes, I adjusted my font size, had to set back to default 96dpi, hope this helps

Properties panel still a major issue - so is overall CC interface

Hi, I have just bought into the whole Adobe CC apps things after years of working with CS4, 5 and 5.5 and remaining compatible with most of my clients, few are taking the leap to CC right now.
Anyways, I am extremely disappointed in the interface, and completely amazed that the Properties panel in Dreamweaver is still ridiculously underwhelming.
Case in point, the URL field.
Why has this field remained limited to just 30 characters when the Property panel extends the full width of the screen and is completely empty from the walfway mark over to the far right?
Can't remember the last time I had such a simple URL it even fit in there, mostly dealing with enewsletters with externally-hosted content... need hard URLs that are lengthy, this limitation adds too much time to my work and is annoying beyond belief.
In addition, all CC apps now leave a hideous solid background that covers all other apps, and the Finder, this to me is reverting back to 1998 standards, not Mac OS X standards at all.
Are the recent Adobe CC apps all Windoze ports? The dialogue boxes look hideous, the progress bars, etc, etc. all hideous, nothing like the slick CS4 look that was a major improvement over previous versions.
And in any dialogue box you have to tab through every single option in the dialogue box... what?
I used to love Adobe apps, I use them daily, several hours a day. Now I just don't want to have to deal with them.
Please Adobe, what happened? Tell me you're working on fixing these issues and making these apps usable again.
Right now I'd rather become a manager and not have to look at InDesign, Illustrator, PhotoShop, Dreamweaver ever again.
Thanks.

Hi David, thanks for the Application Frame tip... although in InDesign [the app I use most] it is also in prefs which was confusing, isn't in DW's prefs, or Ilustrator's or PhotoShop's... but the interface colouring is... the inconsistency here is annoying. There are so many issues leftover from previous versions of these apps which I have pointed out to Adobe that it's disappointing, having "upgraded" to CC and not finding any real improvement. I remember when apps moved a full version they were exciting to use and explore, just not happening any more with so much room for improvement - I could understand if the apps had everything needed and were the absolute best possible... but not the case, truly disappointed, could have stayed with CS5.5. Thanks.
PS - that form you pointed me to is the one I used to file the request - and they replied it wasn't a bug it was a feature request, even though the title of that forms states "Feature Request/Bug Report Form" Weird.

Where is the Dreamweaver CC panel to style hyperlinks

Hi all,
I know this seems like a simple question, but I cannot find a panel in the new DW CC layout that allows you to style hyperlinks in a div.
I am used to being able to have a different hyperlink style to the main one set in the fonts file on part of the webpage eg. the footer links.
I can see in the CSS Properties panel how to add margin, padding, shadows, borders, backgrounds, text styles, but I cannot see anywhere that I can style the hyperlinks in a div.
How can I do this in Dreamweaver CC?
I know how to style links by hand coding them in a stylesheet, but as I am doing a responsive design, this is not available to me. I tried to do some hand coding, but the whole responsive design broke and I had to start again. I have to use the properties panel to set up the CSS code for the responsive design.
I do have a separate CSS stylesheet just for the fonts and background for the web design. Do I need to put the alternative a: link coding in there?
Gosh this is hard.
Thanks,
Mary

Hi Ben,
Sadly with Dreamweaver CC is is not as easy as that.
I am doing a responsive design, and cannot code directly in the CSS stylesheet, or it will break.
I want to have two styles of a links, one for the body of the website, and another for one particular div.
I need to use the CSS Properties panel to create the CSS styles, rather than coding directly in the stylesheet for the responsive design. The CSS Properties panel seems to have everything except a section for styling a: links in a div.
I guess this is not available in Dreamweaver CC fluid grid layouts yet.
When doing responsive design in DW CC it is advised to attach a separate stylesheet for the body styling and the fonts on the website, as this works better than putting them in the fluid grid layout CSS file. I guess if I want to do a second a: link style in the design I will need to set it up there.
Thanks so much, I seem to be on my own out here trying to use DW CC to create a responsive layout with fluid grid layout. It is a bit of a mission at the moment, so I am looking forward to further enhancements in DW CC of fluid grid layout features.

Properties Panel Question

Hi, I really dislike the
"Properties Panel" on the bottom of the DW UI. Is there a
way to have it run vertical on the left of the UI or make it
collapsible like all of the other panels?
Thanks

Properties panel does not entirely show

Part of the properties panel is not shown - what cause this? - how can it be fixed?
Using DW CS4 and Win 7
Arrows show how parts of the panel are not seen

1600 to 900 is screen resolution and font size was 125% - changed it to 100% and that allowed full properties panel to be displayed

Css properties panel won't allow changes

Every time I try to make a change within the CSS Properties Panel, everything disappears and will not work. I have brought this to my teachers attention, and he says I have done everything correctly, so I am completely unaware of what the issue is. On top of this, it seems like DW CC has had quite a number of problems, including it quitting itself and not being able to restart. Any help would be appreciated!

Run the validators anyway, "missing apostrophe syndrome" hits the best of us. I'm not saying your professor missed something, but it's possible.
If the code comes up clean, it may be time to move onto some general catch all troubleshooting steps...
