1. Re: Insert Bar on Mac
David_Powers Sep 28, 2009 10:28 AM (in response to Stuart Haiz)I have had a look at your screenshot, and see that you have a large number of custom extensions that have inserted their own tabs into the Insert bar.
AFAIK, the Insert bar cannot be extended. It looks as though your enthusiasm for extensions has run into a limitation of the DW user interface.

2. Re: Insert Bar on Mac
Stuart Haiz Sep 28, 2009 10:34 AM (in response to David_Powers)Hi David
Thanks for confirming what I thought was a DW GUI issue and not just down to me! Yes, I have a few WebAssist extensions installed, but really this shouldn't be an issue. Clearly, there is the space to show all the extensions on the insert bar and Adobe need to address this.

3. Re: Insert Bar on Mac
David_Powers Sep 29, 2009 10:04 AM (in response to Stuart Haiz)I have reported the problem to Adobe. An engineer told me that the solution will probably be to support scrolling on the tabs. Hopefully, it will be fixed in the next version of Dreamweaver. At the moment, though, it seems as though you will need to switch back to the Insert panel or use the Insert menu to access extensions that are inaccessible through the Insert bar.

This is really helpful. It's a shame that we have to pay for upgrades to address issues such as this and the paste special still not fixed on the Mac. (Currently, pasting in text with formatting does not work and requires the workaround of pasting the text into Word, saving it as html and then copying it out...).
I do however, appreciate your passing this on and letting me know the answer you got directly from Adobe. I have posted a couple of Tech support tickets on this, one just a few days ago and only got as far as being referred to a kb article that suggests rebuilding the config folder, trashing prefs, removing and re-installing etc.
