Color picker crashes in DW 5.5 Mac OS 10.7?

I know this is not your exact issue but try #12 and #4:

Can you confirm that you are using 10.7.4?

Have you found a fix? I have the same problem. When I use the eyedropper tool to select a color, the eyedropper icon disappears, then DW crashes. I posted the problem last week on the forum but have not gotten any replies. I am on a new iMac, Lion, DW CS 5.5. The problem began last week after receiving my software update notice from Adobe and installing the update. (5.11?) No problem before that. Any help on fixing this would be most appreciated! Thanks.

I'm also having the same problem. E.G. when I try to select a BG colour for a table using colour picker it crashes DW. This issue has only occured since updating to the latest version of DW5.5. I'm also using OS 10.7.4.

Same story here. Trying to use the color sample tool within a CSS dialog box, crashes DreamWeaver 5.5. Running Mac OS 10.7.4

Same here. The save button is getting a workout.

Just adding myself to the list of those expierencing this issue. It started yesterday., and is driving me nuts. As previously stated by all , selecting a color from the picker crashed the program (DW5.5 on Lion 10.7.2), hoping a solution is found soon..

Sorry to hear you all are running into this issue.

Can you confirm a couple of details for me so I can have the Dreamweaver team investigate further?

- What build of Dreamweaver you are using. (Go to the Dreamweaver menu > About Dreamweaver.)

- What model of Mac you have. (Go to the Apple menu > About This Mac, then click More Info. It should be listed as the Model Identifier in the Hardware Overview.)

Same problem here....

I too have had the same problem today.

Cary,

I am on an iMac,

OSX Lion 10.7.4

processor: 2.7 GB  Intel core i5

Memory 4 GB 1333MHz DDR3

Dreamweaver version is CS5.5  ...  11.5.2.5366

Still having the color picker problem. No problem before the update.

Thanks everyone for your responses so far. We are still investigating the issue, but so far have not been able to reproduce the issue.

Do any of you have extensions installed for Dreamweaver CS5.5?

If so, please share which ones. (To get a list, go to Help > Manage Extensions, and see what is listed for Dreamweaver in Extension Manager CS5.5.)

I have no extensions installed for Dreamweaver.

Would the crash report be of any assistance? I can post here or email it to you directly.

Hi Carey.

I did not have any extensions installed for DW until yesterday, so it is not an extenstion issue.

The extension I installed yesterday is:

Lorem and More version 1.2.1 / David Powers

I really think the problem has something to do with the last update. DW was fine and dandy until updating.

I also found another crashing issue yesterday: Trying to draw an image map.

OK, thanks all. It would seem that extensions are not likely to be the cause. Thanks, MscottR69, for sending me the crash log.

We're continuing to investigate.

Same issue here.  The only way I could get it to work again was to reinstall the original version I purchased.  Version 11.5 Build 5315 doesn't have the issue.  I've confirmed this by reinstalling and updating several times.

What motivation does Adobe have to resolve this issue if they have released CS6?  Is anyone having the problem in CS6

Everything was working fine for me until this last Dreamweaver update I installed.  Since reinstalling my older version, resetting my preferences, I am having frequent crash issues.  I know, I know...  that's a different thread.    I'm seriously afraid to dish out hundreds of dollars to update my CS5.5 unless I know that this issue is fixed for both 5.5 and 6 versions.

Yeah, mine is doing the same thing.  CS 5.5 / Lion 10.7.3

updated to 10.7.4 same thing.  And I had also done the update in DW CS5.5

I can't belive there isn't a fix of some sort for this.  Color picker is kind of important....  its driving me crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thought I would chip in. Having same problem here.

OS X 10.7.4

Thank you all for your patience. I received an update from the Dreamweaver team.

This bug was somehow introduced with the recently released 11.5.2 update for Dreamweaver CS5.5. For now, they have pulled back this update while they resolve the issue. (NOTE: The update for Windows users is still available, since it is not affected.)

To avoid the issue, the recommended thing to do is to revert back to the original installed version of Dreamweaver CS5.5. To do so, simply run the installer from your DVD or download, if it's a Creative Suite you only need to select Dreamweaver to install, and then run through the re-install.

After the installation completes, you'll be back using Build 5315 and will not encounter this issue with the color picker.

We'll be sure to update you as we have more info.

Seriously?  I downloaded the whole master suite from the interwebs, and didn't keep the download files.  So I have to redownload that whole thing, like 9 gig or whatever it is.  And then just reinstall Dreamweaver.  And then reinstall all of my extensions.... I am freaking out right now!

baubeis, you can instead just download the trial of Dreamweaver. See this article for instructions and a link: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs5-5-direct-download-links.html

I upgraded to 5.5 from 5.0 by download. The only DVD I have is for 5.0. Where to I download Dreamweaver 5.5? I didn't keep the downloaded installer.

Hello All,

The issue is caused due to a depricated API "CGDisplayAddressForPosition" on Mac 10.7.

This has been fixed and the the patch is under internal testing.

We would like to get this patch validated with the community users also. You can contact me at yprasad_at_adobe_dot_com for more details.

Thank you Yalpi (and Adobe) for addressing this issue. 

Carey, I use Dreamweaver CS 5.5 Version 11.5 Build 5366 with OX 10.7.5 I have just encountered this eye dropper problem. How can I install Build 5315?  I only have this CS 5.5 Version 11.5 Build 5366 of DW.

Jayarny, you can update Dreamweaver from Help Menu->Updates or you can download and install the update from Dreamweaver CS5.5 11.5.1 Updater.

Hi Yalpi,

Thanks for sending me the link. I tried to update it and got this warning.

  Dreamweaver CS5.5 11.5.1 Updater

  Installation failed. Error Code: U44M2P7

Do you have any idea? My DW is version 11.5.2.5366.

Hello Jayarny,

You can revert back to Dreamweaver 11.5 by reinstalling the product and then update to latest patch through Help Menu->Updates or download from the Dreamweaver Support Page.

This will update Dreamweaver 11.5 to 11.5.3.
