By "go away", I assume you mean they are simply closed. They are not deleted, unless there is some problem I am unaware of.
Again, I think this is correct and AFAIK is typical for project systems. You switch to another project, and it closes the old files and opens the current project files. Incidentally, I recommend always working with projects. If so, you would not have had this issue. There is no limitation to one Jqt instance on OSX.
