I see the same behaviour on 10.14.2. Haven’t identified the problematic 
entries, but it’s a .bib file which has been working flawlessly for years.

That could be true. I guess that due to the exception the app can get into an 
invalid zombie state. I thought it would crash, but apparently it doesn't

I'm on macOS 10.13.6. Could it be that although the offending
bibliography wouldn't open, once I attempted to open it, it prevented
any other bibliographies from opening?

Thanks. The problem is in the author “boyd, dana”, note the capitalization, 
which the bibtex parser doesn’t interpret as a last name (lower case names are 
interpreted as a “von” part).

I did not realize this error could happen. Tomorrow’s nightly won’t choke on 
this.

I'll look into that, but the problem was reproducible when opening empty
bibliographies, which suggests that ill-formed author names is unlikely
to be the cause.

No crash reports for BibDesk.

Can you open the files with 1.6.18 (you can get it through the web site)?

Do you have any crash report?
