Update to my previous comment:
as you said, switching to the “classic” workspace and then to your usual workspace solve the problem temporarily.

I found a very good solution here: http://www.tom-elliott.net/html-css/dreamweaver-cs4-code-selecting-problem/
Switching the workspace to “classic” and then reordering the panels like you want seems to solve the problem for good. Apparently, the trick is to stay on the “classic” workspace… then feel free to move the panels to make the interface look like whatever you want.

Hello people, the work around I’ve by googling solved my problem.
Basically I had to erase my preferences folder for Dreamweaver, we dreamweaver closed.
As soon as I re-opened it, the folder is created again and everything works again.

Here is what I’ve found:

“Also – have you tried removing your Dreamweaver Configuration folder located in ~/library/Application Support/Adobe/Dreamweaver # where # is your Dreamweaver version number and restarted Dreamweaver? Don’t neccessarily delete it, but move it out of that location and restart Dreamweaver – see http://forums.adobe.com/thread/417116“

hi,
thank you for that workaround, but unfortunately it doesn’t work in my case – although the symptons were the same…

Yup, you are right. But, doing it again normally fixes it again. Wish there was a better way.

Sorry, but this is only an temporaly workaround. After a while the problems start again.

Every time Adobe updates Dreamweaver, it get bigger, more bloated, buggier and it pisses me off. Then Adobe has the nerve to tell us that the problem does not exist except in a few ‘rare’ circumstances yet there are tons of pages dedicated to this problem. Yup, give me Notepad++ or TextMate. Get stuffed Adobe!!!
