    dreamweaver cc html entity conversion problem in mac -NO utf-8 related answer please

    siamesecat1 Community Member

      I probably am fighting against a bug existing in DW for a while, and i'm really on the edge of bursting out! 

      Here are the specifications:

      Dreamweaver CC from creative cloud (also tested w/ CS5.5 too) installed on mac, OS and DW user interfaces are english, and on mac turkish keyboard layout is also installed.

       

      I have been using DW for maybe 15 years, since it was macromedia.. But was always on windows. This is the first time I use it on mac. Here is my problem step by step:

      1- Dreamweaver > Pereferences > New Document > Default Encoding: Western (ISO Latin 1) (NOT UTF-8 PLEASE, IT KEEPS THE CHARS UNCHANGED, ISO LATIN1 IS IMPORTANT)

      2- Go to Design View,

      3- There are 6 special characters in Turkish (times 2 for the caps versions of course), type:

      ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç

      4- Go back to code view, what i should have seen was:

      ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç

      But I see:

      ĞÜŞİÖÇğüşıöç

       

      There are 3 chars (and capital versions) NOT converted to html entity at all. Which were: ĞŞİğşı

      But I should have seen them as: ĞŞİğşı

       

      Any help would be appreciated, I do not want to leave my old friend DW just because of a weird conversion problem...
