Adobe Dreamweaver: Bugs

The editor in Dreamweaver 20.2s so slow that I can regularly type ahead.
The editor in Dreamweaver 20.2 Build 15263 is so slow that I can regularly type ahead of the response on the screen, and I sometimes get a “not responding” message.
I am editing an HTML file that is 28KB, but has 20 images of approximately 25 KB each. In addition to the source code there is also the following: bootstrap-4.2.1.css file, custom.css, jquery.fancybox.min.css, nav.inc. footer.inc.
Other open applications include MS Word, Firefox, and Outlook.
All files reside on the my desktop PC, which is an Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-6300 CPU @ 3.80GHz, with 16.0 GB Installed RAM, running a 64-bit OS…20 votes -
Code Editor: Black text on a black background!!
Since upgrading to Dreamweaver 2021 and macOS Big Sur, the text in code editor is not rendering in color. This means all the text is black and barely readable on a dark grey background!!

DW freezes code view freezes
I often leave DW open all the time so I can come back to edit later or the next day. It seems the newer updates will randomly freeze, but not complately. None of the code view tabs work, I can click on them but the code view doesn't change. The menu's all still work. Only way I am able to get it to work again is to quit and restart.

Slow typing for some reason
I have noticed there has been a recent issue with Dreamweaver when typing it is either a lag in the input or either it does a slight freeze. I have checked my own computer to make sure and have enough RAM to run it and other things in the background.
Even have disabled prior applications to test it and still a lag in the interface when trying to code HTML templates and other markups. The only one that doesn't have an issue filetype wise is coding CSS stylesheets. I don't know if this was reported before, couldn't find it searching…

"Find and Replace in Files" dialog cannot be closed (macOS Big Sur)
Its very simple, open a "Find and Replace in Files" dialog and there is no way to close it (other than closing Dreamweaver). There is no top left red button on the popup dialog (it is greyed out).

Clicking in code or live view jumps randomly to an unrelated part of the page.
Clicking in code or live view jumps randomly to an unrelated part of the page. This has been a problem in Dreamweaver for years, but much worse lately. Sometimes I have to scroll through hundreds of lines and seek out and click on the same element or line of code half a dozen times, over and over again, until Dreamweaver finally lets me edit it. Despite my best efforts, my kids are learning all kinds of unfortunate language at high volume because of how badly this interface sucks.

Dreamweaver 2021 MAC date modified on downloaded files is wrong
Dreamweaver v21.0 Build 15392 file dates on downloaded files are WRONG. DW is totally unusable for downloading.
This happens on most files, the Creation date is sometimes changed, the modified date is always changed.
The date shows as 1/27/1990 in DreamWeaver, and as 4/11/2262 in Mac Finder.
This does NOT happen if I use Forklift V 3.4.4 Build 211 to download files.

DreamWeaver FTP problem
I have purchased a subscription to the latest DreamWaver, Illustrator and PhotoShop (all are creative cloud). However, I have some issues with DW. The problem is that it takes so long to connect to the remote server via FTP, if at all possible. All the time I have to enter the setup and uncheck and uncheck to use passive FTP. Suddenly upload is canceled and it takes an awful long time to upload regular HTML, XHTML or PHP files the times it works. In the previous versions, this has never been a problem. I have a fast fiber optic line…

Code highlighting doesn't work DW 21.0 MacOS Big Sur
Since I updated to Big Sur, code highlighting stop working. The text always stays black even if I change the theme in the interface's preferences. (only the text background color changes if I change theme, not the text).
Tried reinstalling DW and didn't work.

find and replace window will not close
Can't close Find and Replace window. There is no option or button to close the F&R window. It just stays open until all the F&R have been completed. This is a pain in the ass. I don't want to run the changes on everything. I'm using DW 2021, Big Sur, brand new imac.

The editor sometimes shows the HTML code of a different file that is open (tab) than the currently selected tab
I've had this happen a few times with 2021 DW. The HTML code in code view (only) is showing the HTML code of a different file that is also open but on a different, non-selected tab.

Several Dreamweaver bugs prevent every new call of the "Info about new functions"
I think it would be a helpful idea to give Dreamweaver users access to information about new functions, especially since those information masks are not only informative, but also contain useful selection, change and start functions.
(Note: due to my translation of the German terms into english the terms may not match the Adobe terms used in English and should be understood accordingly)
The windows or selection masks "Info about new functions" displayed when installing or restarting Dreamwever cannot be displayed or used again without deinstallation and restart (at least within my configuration macbook pro BigSur 11.1).

Will not save html file
After update to 21.1 (Build 15413), it not only goes slow but it also has trouble saving as I go. I kept receiving error that I didn't close the <div> tag when I did. And it would not display my typed text. So I exited and opened and then I saw that it didn't save any of my work.
