Text edit displayed but not saved
I changed a line of text in the Dreamweaver editor for a JavaScript file. The text was changed on the screen and the save "*" was removed when I hit save. However, when I uploaded the changed file, the change was not reflected. I verified the uploaded file was not changed on the website in the JavaScript console. I closed the editor and reopened it, The original text was still present! I updated it again and re-saved. This time the change persisted and the upload was good. There were no error messages or other indications of something going awry. This is a first, and a very disturbing error.

Hi Michael,
Thank you for providing all the details and clarity on the issue you are facing. Detailed description of the issue helps us in investigating the issue.
We tried to recreate the issue internally on macOS 10.14.6 and the issue is not reproducible. Hence it would great if you can write to us when you encounter the issue again. Please have Dw in the same state for us to investigate the issue since the same is not reproducible on all machines.
Have a pleasant day.
Thanks,
Nayan

This happens in windows DW too. Sometimes any changes you make within DW code are never saved. DW looks like it saved the file but if you upload it (or view it in notepad) none of the changes are there.
The only way to fix this is to close all open files in DW, close DW entirely and then restart DW.
