When will Fireworks be fixed and become usable?

For a major project it was decided to use Fireworks rather than Photoshop because of the vector capabilities, project file sizes and workflow. A number of bugs have made it quite frustrating (Mac OS 10.9.1 and Fireworks 12.01.274 - both latest).

These are bugs as they sometimes happen even with identical work proceedures:

- Fireworks sometimes changes the canvas size of pages which are not selected. For example, I am working in Page 1 and then change the canvas size and Fireworks changes the canvas for this one and also Page 3 . The option to 'change on this page only' is selected and the inconsistency is revealed as Page 2 hasn't been changed. A problem with this is that you don't immediately notice and content on the other page is cut off. In my case I couldn't revert.

- There is a severe problems saving an open file properly (Error: "Could not complete your request / The file is already open in another application") The file isn't open in any other applications - although it is selected (highlighted) in MacOS Finder. But this does't affect file saving in other Adobe and non-Adobe programs so why is it different for Fireworks? As a consolation, fireworks adds a few files such as 00000002 and 00000003 to my desktop. Info says they are Fireworks PNG files... but can I trust them... best not to.

- Why is content selection with scrolling not possible. If I have a long section of content to select which extends beyond the page, why can't I click and drag the mouse down so that the page scrolls down. Why to I have to drag the cursor below the window and have to then wiggle it around to get the screen to scroll.

- When pasting in a set of items and then manually giving in X / Y coordinates Fireworks sometimes doesn't want to move and reverts to '0'..... but not all the time, sometimes it prefers to move to a completely different location... and at other times it works as it should.

Dear Fireworks team - some of these are part of everyday workflow and really deserve to be working properly. As my colleagues have reported the same problems can you please fix these.

DPS App Builder requires a serial number to active

I am a Creative Cloud user and am being asked for a Serial Number inside DPS App Builder.

This is a known problem and adobe has posted a fix, this however doesn't fix it for me:

http://helpx.adobe.com/digital-publishing-suite/kb/dps-ccm-users-get-activate.html

I have the latest indesign CC and have followed steps to deleted and reinstall DPS App Builder three times along with the digital Publishing Patch. When following the instructions to select "create app' from inside the folio builder in indesign - it launches DPS App Builder. It automatically signs me in and takes me to the 'start page' where I can eith 'learn more' or manage.

I am expecting that I would be taken to a different screen having recognised that I am creating an app - in which I can directly add the assets.

From here I choose "Continue to Manage view" and then click "New" and load in the .zip (which had been created by the DPS producer : organizer) and the assets (icons).

The next step is to activate however I amd asked for a Serial Number.

After updating indesign, following instructions to remove and delete DPS App Builder and reinstall. Also ensuring that I clear browser caches and sign out of everything - why after following the instructions am I still being asked for a serial number?

Some details:

DPS App Builder is V 3.0.0 (r30.16)

Indesign 9.2.1 (CC)

Mac OSX 10.9.3

I followed instructions to install: AdobeDigitalPublishingPatch-CC-30.0.1

I also tried (as recommended by adobe) reinstalling the Folio Builder Panel - strangly for CS 5.5 (FolioPanel-CS5.5-30.0.1)

Really keen for assistence. Thanks!
