Strange CSS Bug : 3 Line CSS Code Crashing Dreamweaver CS4

Strange CSS Bug : 3 Line CSS Code Crashing Dreamweaver CS4

A friend of mine found a strange bug in Dreamweaver CS4. Who would guess that a 3 line CSS code would be able to totally crash Dreamweaver?

Here is the code he tried to write :

@media print{      #tepe, #rightpanel, }

While i was trying to replicate this bug, Dreamweaver first crashed at #rightpanel. On my second attempt, i succeeded but was not able to save the file, as Dreamweaver died again. Even saving this simple code in Notepad, and trying to open it with Dreamweaver creates a little disaster.

I just reported this as a bug and waiting for an answer. If I get one, I’ll post it here.

Edit: A mail came after a few hours after my report. Adobe was able to reproduce the bug and it is internally filed. They will look into it.

As suggested, if you encounter this kind of error, be sure to use valid CSS. As this bug appears while writing the code you won’t be able to finish what you started, but however, opening the saved CSS file in another tool and finishing it like this,

@media print{      #tepe, #rightpanel {} }

Solves the problem for now.

Adobe CS4 + Version Cue 4.0.1 = Fatal Error

I just ran Adobe Update for CS4, to check if any new versions are available. There were some. As always, most of them were not installed. But the installed ones destroyed my night in a few seconds. Illustrator was not running :

Illustrator.exe – Fatal Application Exit
The specified module could not be found. C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Adobe Version Cue CS4\4.0.1\VersionCue.DLL

I’m not a fan of Version Cue, I’m not using it, and hell the server is not even installed.

So why Illustrator asks for an updated version for a not-used-by-user application ?

As I figured out, this was the client DLL, and not the server. And what a surprise, Version Cue update I just downloaded from Adobe did not install on my PC. Why ? Because I don’t have any Version Cue server installed…

So, at the end, no updates are available for me, but my Illustrator wants that update to work.

So confusing…

If you ever encounter this error, there is no solution from Adobe.
But there is a hack you can use : Simply rename the 4.0.0 folder name to 4.0.1
Yep, that’s all…
