Update: after 5+ weeks, this problem still occurs daily, and there is also an error when I try to quit BBEdit.
I am accustomed to leaving BBEdit open, as I use it all the time. 1. At least once a day, I go to BBEdit and find the text has disappeared. 2. At that point I CMD-q to quit, and receive an error pop-up saying "This operation couldn't be completed, because an error occurred. Directory not found (macOS error code: -120)." It offers me two options: "Copy to Clipboard" or "OK." If I click OK, it just appears again. So I have to force-quit BBEdit. 3. I go into Terminal and type the magic incantation "atsutil server -shutdown" 4. I restart BBEdit and resume work. BareBones tech support was adamant that this is a High Sierra problem, not a BBEdit problem. And this is not my only problem with High Sierra. But this is really annoying and breaks up what should be a productive workflow. Is there nothing that can be done to work around the problem? I have considered going back to Sierra but it would be a huge job and is probably not the best long-term solution. I would love to hear any suggestions from BareBones or from other users.
