Live preview has never worked 100% for me in any version of Brackets going back about 6 months. Sorry, but I don't have the previous version numbers. Initially, it will work fine, then just stop. At that point I have to refresh the browser to pick up the changes. Sometimes live preview will start working again, but I have no idea why. This isn't because I haven't completed a tag. Not even the content highlight will work. It does this with extensions on or off.

OSX 10.10.1

Release 1.1 build 1.1.0-15558 (release ea908ca)
build timestamp: Wed Dec 17 2014 12:50:55 GMT-0800

Chrome version 39.0.2171.95 (64-bit)

@OutOfMyDepth It sounds like you may have already read the Live Preview section of the How To Use Brackets doc. Even if you've read the Live Preview Isn't Working section of the Brackets Troubleshooting guide please take another look because we are always updating that doc.

Also, check to see if maybe you hitting the case described in #7126. Otherwise, take a look at open live preview issues to see if the problem you're seeing is described in any of those issues.

Any way you can help narrow down the issue is appreciated. A specific set of steps in a particular file would be great.

For me, live preview/editing only works for CSS file, not HTML. I have to save HTML file to view the changes. No live editing, no highlight.

HTML file is in "Working files".
Extensions are disabled.
Preview server is Brackets'.
Brackets 1.1 with Chrome 39 on 64bit Linux.

HTML file tested (to make sure it's not caused by error):

<html>
    <head>
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/look.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <div class="wrapper">
        <p>test</p>
        </div>
    </body>
</html>

Are you still facing this issue? Which version of brackets are you on?

Installed 1.3, still no live preview for HTML files.

Preview browser just doesn't start with 'Enable experimental live preview' checked.

It seems to be working better but not 100%. The live browser will always start, but after awhile will (still) sometimes become inactive. I have to hit refresh in Chrome to get it going again. It doesn't seem to be an issue if I'm very busy in Brackets, and am constantly making changes. If I have to leave for a bit it seems to go dead. I've tried a few Chrome extensions that will refresh at set intervals, with varying results.
