Dreamweaver CS3 refresh design view problem

    Hi All,

    just installed new DW-CS3 and i am a bit puzzled.

    In previous version (DW8) when you work in two window mode and you click on the design part object or even a tag, it auto selects that part in code view.
    CS3 does not seem to be doing that and its really annoying!

    Does anyone have the same problem?

    i am having the same problem. If I do not find the fix soon, I may just revert back to DW8.

    It is really irritating isnt it? I have tried searching google for this problem. spent hours in settings but i could not figure it out.

    And yes, i have gone back to DW8!

    maybe Adobe is interested in changing the looks of Marcomedia DW. ;)

    I noticed that if you right click in design view, the code will select in the code view.

    This is a very annoying bug....

    Another work around (annoying but better than nothing) after you click in the design view hit your F5 key and it will put the cursor or selection in the proper place in the code view.

    I am using the 30 day trial but if I can't resolve this issue I will be reverting back to Dreamweaver 8, I don't personally see a lot of benefits over 8 anyway.

    the other workaround is to right click anywhere. it will update but you will also get the menu to appear :(

    Did anyone find a long term solution to this problem. I have CS3 installed at home and on one of my computer everythign works fine, on my other one this exact problem is occurring.

    I guess I'll try to uninstall and reinstall...

    Strangely enough clean install of CS3 on a new computer does not do this and works fine as DW8.
    So my assumption is that this issue is related to having two DW versions installed, other than that I have no idea.

    That is an interesting point - I do think I had another version of Dreamweaver before I installed CS3.

    I'll post if I'm able to figure out a solution

    hey guys. i don't know how old this thread is but I discovered the problem was caused by a modified exe file i was using. my cs3 was using constant cpu even when idle and i found an exe on another forum that fixed the problem but caused this code view refresh problem at the same time. i reverted back to the orginal executable
