Hi Joshua, Which version of Dreamweaver are you using? I use MX 2004 on a mac (which probably has different quirks to the win version) and am not having the problems you describe, though I've only been using CSS-based layouts for a few months (and am heavily using templates).
The problem I am having, however, is trying to select text in an editable DIV region. In the templates, I'll write short messages to remind me or others as to what content goes where in each column, eg "main content goes here", "main photo goes here", etc. But when I create a new page from the template and then try to select the text "main content goes here", I can't do it in Design View. I have to go into Code View. When there are a few lines of text in the editable DIV region, then it's no problem. I never had this problem with templates using table-based layouts.
