Hi Brian Did you try to „First Aid“ from the Disk Utility App on your startup volume? This helped for me some years ago.
You may also try to assign .text and .txt files to another application like Atom <https://atom.io/> (Don’t forget to use „Change All…“!) and then set it back to BBEdit again. Otherwise you may want to delete the TextEdit App, because it’s mostly useless anyway… I could tell you how to do this. But without any warranty! Cheers!
