Problems in Dreamweaver with cut-and-paste

Hi there.
I wondered if someone could help with a small problem within
Dreamweaver CS4. If I have two different CSS style sheets open, and
I highlight a certain section of one CSS stylesheet to take the
rule to another CSS stylesheet, for some unknown reason as soon as
I do "copy" the whole of the stylesheet is highlighted, the only
way I can stop this from happening is to double-click on the "code"
button at the top left-hand side of the Dreamweaver window. Is
there any other way to stop this from happening. I am running
Dreamweaver CS4 on the windows Vista platform.
Thank you for reading this post and for any help you may be
able to give.
Regards, John.

Hoorah!
At last - someone else with the same problem!
I have been leaving messages on here for ages to try to get some response from Adobe. Someone kindly suggested getting rid of the preferences folder, but that didn't solve the problem.
I think its something wrong with Dreamweaver CS4. I have reverted back to CS3 until they come up with an upgrade!
Out of interest does this happen straight away or after a period of time? I found if you quit Dreamweaver and restart it usually its ok for a while.
Do you also have the same problem editing the code? I find I can't put the cursor anywhere WITHIN a chunk of PHP. The cursor highlights the whole lot. I have to click all over the place until it eventually works as normal - or I have to quit Dreamweaver and start again.
Are you using a Mac too?
Regards
Colin

  • Problems with cut and paste

    Hello.  I have an iphone 3g with which I successfully cut and pasted links and other such items for quite some time; however, over the past week or so, every time I copy a link or text, when I go to paste it, a youtube link gets pasted.

    Try a Reset... you will not lose any Data or Settings...
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

  • Quality Compromised with Cut and Paste?

    I have an iMovie that I already shared in media browser so I can burn to DVD. Now, I have a few extra minutes I want to add to the film.
    If I cut and paste the film in iMovie's Project Library so that I can then add the extra footage...Does this compromise the quality at all?

    I get double pasting when paste to IDE using mouse i.e. right click and select paste. However if I do ctrl + v then the above does not happen.

  • Problems with cut and paste within the code editor in JDeveloper 10.1.3 EA

    Copy and pasting doesn't work as expected. If I copy some code and paste it somewhere else, i get completely different code, (it seems to paste a piece of code from somewhere else in the source).
    I tried expanding + signs, this didn't help.
    I'am running JDeveloper on Windows XP Professional.
    Does anybody else have the same problem.
    Is this a bug?

    We've tracked down this issue thanks to Tullio's supplying us with a reproducible testcase. It's related to the "Automatically Copy Paste Imports" preference (which is on by default) in the Tools->Preferences->Code Editor category of IDE preferences. It seems to also be related to having renamed a source path directory to have a name that is only different by case from the name it originally had. Disabling this preference is a workaround for EA1.
    For example, if you started out by creating your workspace with a source directory named "Src", then later renamed it to "src", this seems related to the situation when this issue can occur. Renaming the directory back to match what it was before is another workaround for EA1.

  • Help with cut and paste

    Hello. Need a little help please. I have a 21 page pdf file. I would like to cut the text and paste into MS Word. By doing "select all" I am able to do this but only 1 page at a time. Is theire a way to extend the selection so that I get all 21 pages of text?
    Thanks for your suggestions.

    A PDF that contains a scanned image of a textual document will result in a 0 KB text file when Save as Text is used while viewing the PDF.
    If OCR is applied to the PDF (with Acrobat as Reader does not provide this functionality) then Save as Text exports the OCR output to the text file.
    When using Reader's select tool to select and copy the page content (the image) it is the image that is pasted into the Word file.
    A PDF that has no renderable content has nothing to export to a text file via Save as Text.
    So, it would appear that the copy image - paste image, 1 page at time, is what will have to be used.
    A quick addendum -
    If your working with an image of text and have Office 2007 you may be able to use Microsoft Office Document Imaging tool (not sure if tool is available in all Office versions) once the images are in a Word file.
    Be well...

  • Trouble with cut and paste password for wireless network

    Command - C, Command-V did not let me paste wireless password from text edit. Any suggestions as to why? I was able to do so with right click.

    It is one of mine. Yes. It connects to it no problem, just doesn't connect to the actual internet. Network diagnostics has all green lights until the ISP and/or Internet point. If I walk through diagnostics, it will get to the point where it says that the network requires a WEP password. I don't know why it does that because my network is not password-protected (husband claims it doesn't work well with his VPN system to get into work network). If I leave it blank, the connection will work. Eventually, after the computer is put to sleep, I will have the same problem upon waking up. I just tried renaming the network and removing all preferred networks and rebooting. Let's see how that works.

  • Dreamweaver cut and paste problem! LAST RESORT!

    Hello there people
    I am in desperate need of some help, I have exhausted all
    other options and I REALLY hope some one on here will be able to
    help me!...
    I was halfway through an index.html doc when my cut and paste
    option stopped working! if you go to edit, all the options are
    greyed out! and keyboard shortcuts wont work either! I have tried
    opening my other docs and they are all the same!,
    Thinking it was a bug I downloaded some updates, I then tried
    re-installing, and then removing the WHOLE thing then
    re-installing! Ive also looked at windows and there does not seem
    to be a problem there either!
    Cut and paste works EVERY where else except in DW!
    It is looking like maybe I have "selected" some thing, but I
    have checked every thing I know and still NOTHING!!
    can any one shed any light on this?

    IVE GOT THE ANSWER!
    In Windows, browse to this file:
    C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application
    Data\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\panelset.xml
    Rename the panelset.xml file to panelsetOLD.xml, so that
    Dreamweaver will automatically create a new panelset.xml
    file.

  • Multiple problems: can't open two windows, browser doesn't close although window disappears, and after working for a while I loose my ability to cut and paste or use drop down arrows

    Maybe two weeks ago I discovered that I could no longer open two windows at a time (I can still open multiple tabs). I am also having problems with cutting and pasting, which is crucial to my on-line job. Plus, when I exit Firefox, it doesn't always shut down, so then when you go to re-open, of course, it won't (unless you go into process and turn it off). I have re-installed multiple times and I have also used restore. Nothing seems to be fixing this and I really, really don't want to use IE, especially for work.

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    See
    * [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
    * [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

    Maybe also do a malware check with a few malware scan programs.<br />

  • I can use cut and paste in Rich Text Editors for all web site hosts but one. I have tried the solution you provided, but it doesn't work. Any ideas? the website that rejects cut and paste is Network Solutions

    I really hoped you would fix the security policy issue in release 4. I have to close Firefox and use IE9 to maintain a website I built with Network Solutions and I'd much rather not have to endure the slowness of IE. I also have websites with Wix and WEBS and have no problems at all using cut and paste with them.

    Did you have it connected to the library mac when it froze? If so, why? I would be hesitant to hook my ipod to a unprotected public computer since it may be infested with viruses or have unknown hardware problems.
    In any case, if you can get it to an Apple store they can probably help you with it, it sounds like it needs replacing.
    A certain percentage of any complex product will turn out to be defective and will have to be returned, it sounds like you were unlucky enough to get one. Looking over the forums here it may seem like the ipod is plagued with bugs, but don't forget that there are millions who never have a problem and so have no reason to pipe up here. Personally I think Apple deserves a thumbs up for continuing to host these forums in spite of how they may cast a negative light on thier products to the casual observer.

  • Cut and Paste: Frame and Content Size Auto Changes

    I'm working in InDesign CS2 and am having this reoccurring problem.
    When I cut and paste frames with placed images (or pull images from a library) the frame and image will both expand to between 300%-3,000%. As you can imagine, it's very frustrating to have to create new frames and place new images every time. Any suggestions on how to fix or work around?

    I'm still having problems with this, even using Paste and Match Style.
    My table has three rows with gray background, then three rows of white; this pattern repeats for many rows. In the center row of each three rows is some text, while all other rows are blank. I want to move all this text down three rows, so that the text that was in the center row of the gray rows now is in the center row of the white rows, but I want the row colors to remain unchanged. Here's what I've tried.
    If I "Cut" the selected cells, then the background colors are cut, so this is no good. Instead, I Copy the cells, then hit the Delete key. This leaves the background alone. Now I select a cell three rows down from the top. If I Paste, then the old backgrounds are pasted in, which is not the behavior I want. If I Paste and Match Style, then all the backgrounds are overwritten with white, except those single rows that originally contained both text, and had a gray background. The original cells that were gray but had no text are pasted in as white.
    This latter behavior makes no sense to me. There seems to be a difference in how Paste and Match Style works, depending on whether the copied cells had text, or were blank.
    Is there another way to do this rather common task—moving text around a table that has alternating-colored rows, without messing up those colors?

  • Cut and paste bug

    Im having an issue with cut and paste commands. I can't paste anything unless I copy first then cut. If I cut then try to paste edit>paste will be shaded out and commandX does nothing. Sometimes its not shaded out but will paste what I have previously copied.
    I found this out during a tutorial in which I had to cut and paste an effects paint layer to a new solid.
    Im using CS5.5 on Macbook pro i7 8GB OSX 10.7.2.
    So far I have tried - resetting preferences on start up. - Edit> purge >all. - Turning off system shortcuts. -Rebooting. None of these have made a difference. Anyone else had or having this issue? Any advise on what I should do next to try and resolve? Cheers.

    Followed your steps exactly and it's exactly like I said in my previous post. Cut and paste works for effects. Here's exactly what I did except for the part where I created the worst illustrator art that I've ever seen. Just two layers, lovely colors. The .ai file is imported as a comp with retain layer sizes selected. A black brush is chosen set to write on and silhouette luma. The size is adjusted to cover the line easily, I paint on the line, press the e key to reveal the effect in the timeline. It's there, it's also in the ECW so I select the effect, cut it, go to the composition, use Cmnd+Y to create a new layer and paste Cmnd + V and the paint effect is applied to the solid.
    There's something going on with your machine, some third party plug-in, some other app, some other issue that's preventing this from working.
    Here's my little movie of the whole experiment.
    I'd make sure that your AE version is the latest, that you have your memory and processing set to the defaults, and that you're not running any other apps while testing AE. If there's still a problem, file a bug. Your machine is not behaving as my machine and every other Mac I routinely work on is behaving.

  • N8 Photo Editing - how to use the cut and paste?

    Hello,
    I am trying to edit some photos - there is a an option to use an ellipse or magic wand.  I thought that was to cut and paste from the photos.
    All I can do is select and area - but how do I cut it. 
    I tried save, but it saves the whole image...
    Or am I just doing this wrong...

    I was hoping to use the ellipse or magic want to cut and paste items in a certain shape to paste on other photos.
    I could do this on my N95-4.
    So there is no way to photo edit with cut and paste?
    Any idea what the ellipse and magic wand function do, and how do they work?

  • Cut and Paste between Events not working

    Using iPhoto11, I can drag and drop pictures between events, no problem...but Cut and Paste does not work.
    I select a photo and cut in event A, go to event B, I right click and get a PAST button, It even clicks but nothing happen, the Cut image never gets pasted.
    Is this a bug? whats the solution?

    To delete the test user, go to the black apple menu, click on system preferences, then on accounts. From an administrator account, click on the "test" user and hit the "-" key. when the dialog box comes up, hit "delete the home folder" and it will be gone.
    For the startup disk issue you should repair permissions. From the finder, click on the "go" menu, then on "utilities". Select disc utility. Select your HD and click on repair disk permissions. This will take several minutes (5 or more).
    If that has not done the trick then you may need to reset the parameter ram (PRAM).  Turn your computer off. When you turn it back on, simultaneously hold 4 keysL command-option-p-r. Keep holding them. The startup chime will ring. Continue to hold until you have heard the chime at least 2 times (more won't help or hurt). Then release.

  • Cut and Paste problem with links in DW

    Anyone have a clue as to why this is happening.....
    when I cut and paste a complex link -- DW seems to add some characters.... see below....

    "it's adding  amp after the & sign"
    It's not actually adding "amp".
    DW is assisting you by encoding the "&" (which validators assume to be a broken HTML entity since they start with "&") and replacing it with the correct form of "&amp;" so that browsers can understand the URL.
