I'm Concerned: Editor Occasionally...

I've been happily using the free version of the CoffeeCup HTML Editor for just over half a year and have only seen one glitch - occasionally, when saving a file, the editor stops responding on my 64-bit version of Windows 7. However, in a recent occurrence of this glitch, I closed the program with task manager (as I typically am forced to do when this happens) and logged back into my website's server. I then proceeded to open the style sheet for the WordPress theme I was editing, which replaced the locally saved file. The file, which previously was full of hours of CSS, had vanished - a blank page awaited me. Admittedly, I cursed at my PC monitor.

Sadly, because I opened the file before knowing that the CSS had disappeared, the local file was also blank. I had not ran a website backup since Friday, and started working on the theme Saturday, so restoring the server won't help me.

My question is not how I can get my file back, as I've tried all I know to recover it, but how I can prevent this problem in the future. As I said, the editor crashing has happened at least fifty times before. Is there any way I can stop these program crashes? I think of myself as a cautious individual, so I don't want to begin editing my website theme and then loose it again.

Thanks in advance,

I have exactly the same problem.
Using dell xps laptop with win7 64bit and running HTML_Editor_12.5_Build_412 .
I lost my index.htm file, no backup.
If this continuous I’m forced to go back to notepad to edit my files.

Any patches to this problem?
