There's many unmentioned factors involved that may be causing the issue. Post more details about your system and configuration to receive a more detailed recommendation to solve your problem.

I too have the same problem. Completely different system config tho!

• CS4
• OS X 10.5.6
• 4Gb RAM
• 2.4Ghz Macbook

Be interesting to hear of any solution

I have been having these problems on both an Intel iMac and a quad-core G5. I have contacted tech support at Adobe, and they told me trash my preferences. I did that to no avail, and that just left them scratching their heads. They are acting like it never happens to anyone else, but the bottom line is that they released this version before it was ready, just so it could be included in the CS4 suite.

I suspect that the problem has to do with Dreamweaver being built on the KHTML (sic-like Safari) kernel. They cannot make the interface mesh together with all the other aspects of the program. I am hoping that they will release an update soon, but I just hit the "esc" key when it happens. Sometimes (one out of four) it works, mostly, it just brings me back to the start.

I thank God I am not being paid by the hour, because this glitch has cost me more than a week's worth of productivity since i upgraded in February.

I've been having this same problem as well as other for years now.  I can only assume Adobe simply doesn't care?  I think the problem happens when there's certain ajax content being displayed, but I'm not sure.  Since Adobe doesn't bother to look into this I gave up a long time ago.  When this happens it makes Dreamweaver a useless tool for web development.

I'm just glad to see the tip that you can hit the escape key to stop it.  Didn't know that till now.  Of course, that only let's you try the menu again and have it hang again.
