Dreamweaver Max CPU Bug
Recently I formatted my laptop because I thought I caught a virus. I'm very careful, I had Symantec Antivirus and Microsoft AntiSpyware installed, yet my computer seemed to start crawling after a few minutes of working. Since I work on the Web, I typically have Dreamweaver, Photoshop, and Outlook running all the time, with 2Gb of RAM, I figured I should be able to do so without much problem.
I reformatted and things seemed better, until recently when my computer went back to timing out for about 30 seconds every time I'm coding in Dreamweaver. I opened the task manager and shut down every program but Dreamweaver. I noticed that my CPU was maxed out at 100% and yet no other process was taking CPU time. It then back down to 1% and then back to 50%, 60% etc, without me doing anything.
I did some quick googling to find out that Dreamweaver has a nasty bug in it that is yet to be addressed, let alone fixed, by Adobe. It seems that if you stay connected to a site after a while the ftp functionality takes over by sending packets out and maintain the connection. The temporary, band-aid, fix is to disconnect from the site and only connect when needed.
The bottom line is that Adobe, the most respected company in Web and Graphic Design, ought to address this issue or at the bare minimum inform register users of the bugs so that they don't waste valuable billable time chasing down their errors.Labels: adobe, Design, dreamweaver, Joomla, macromedia, Web Design
