We have gotten a fair number of reports about 'disappearing prefs', and the same thing has happened to me on several occasions with various apps--not just BBEdit, but Safari, Terminal, and others. We suspect that there's a (relatively well-concealed) bug in the system's preferences mechanism, and are still looking for evidence which may help us isolate the cause. For the meantime, I suggest keeping a backup copy of your prefs file as a precaution. (I just make a Zip archive of my BBEdit prefs file and leave that in my Preferences folder.)
