    Disappearing line numbers CS5 - Mac

    PurplePlumUK Community Member

      Hi, thanks for stopping by

       

      Has anyone come across this? I suspect it's a bug, though a minor one. I've not reported it though thought about it.

      CS5 - Mac 10.6.4

       

      ******BUG******
      Concise problem statement: Disappearing line numbers
      Steps to reproduce bug:
      1. Open page (Mine tend to be local, php)
      2. Split screen view (line numbers should be visible)
      3. In the code view hit the return key for a new line
      Results: The line numbers disappear though in the menu View > Code View Options > Line numbers is still ticked.

      ******************

       

      Unticking and then reticking the menu option seems to bring them back and they stay then as though hitting the return key shortly after opening the window/splitting the view (with few if any actions in between) is part of it.

       

      Has anyone come across this and if so anyone cured it? Cheers.

          Thank you for the complete summary of the symptoms and how to reproduce it.  I have not noticed this in DW CS5 on my iMac, but I'll whip up a test case and post back with the results.

            Hi Murray

            I am manging to trigger it on a regular basis, sufficiently regularly to have become a touch irritating now, though in the scheme of things, it's of small issue. I've been too busy with deadlines to meet to take time out to methodically test it through, hence I was wondering if someone had already invented that wheel so thanks for your interest.

            Regards

              I'm not able to reproduce this with my CS5/10.5.8 Mac.

                Happened again... completely consistent. I cmd + tab to shift to my browser and come here.

                .. noticed this brought back the line numbers. So I (didn't touch my browser)

                cmd + tab back again, clicked in source code (split window),

                return key = fine.

                 

                It's definitely something wobbly (technical term) in the app when it's just been opened that the sequence of actions triggers.
