Known issues in the Dreamweaver 2018 releases

Known issue in Dreamweaver 2018 update (18.2)

When you attempt any site operations such as connecting to a server or switching a site, a pop-up dialog appears with a prompt to provide keychain password. 

Environment:

• Only on mac OS. 
• After you update Dreamweaver 18.0 to Dreamweaver 18.2. 

The keychain access dialog shown below appears each time a server is accessed in a site. For example, if you have two sites with two servers (a remote server and a testing server) defined for each site, then this dialog appears four times.

Workaround: Click Always Allow on the keychain access dialog to prevent appearing again. 

Known issues in Dreamweaver 2018 update (18.1)

When you select RTL text, or when you select using the Shift + Arrow key, you experience some broken experience. Text around the last character is automatically deselected, and sometimes the whole line is selected at one go. As a workaround for this issue, manually turn off the highlightMatches property in the brackets.json file.

You can open the brackets.json file from the following location, using a text editor:

• Win: %appdata%\Adobe\Dreamweaver CC xxxx\en_US\Configuration\Brackets\brackets.json
• macOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver CC XXXX/en_US/Configuration/Brackets/brackets.json
