Yes... I've experienced this too. More often than not, the point is where there is a format marker, either a font marker or one of those stupid ones that is denoted $fm that you cannot find, yet it interferes with find. Both types of format markers hide until you put the cursor on them.

I have not found that the entire file is erased, but I find that with non-keyword files, such as .doc files, sometimes the contents will be erased if you switch from keyword to another application or, though it is rare now, when you exit to the keyword menu or try to save the file with space-s. In the case of switching tasks, no errors are given but the file contents will be gone when you open the file again by switching back to it. In the latter cases, the famous "exception: converter. Access violation [reading or writing] [what I assume to be a ram address]" error is displayed, and all text past a point in the file is gone, though I have not been able to find a system by which this point is determined. Again, though, this is very rare in the latest ks versions; in fact, I am not sure when it last happened.
