It may be caused by the encryption. You do need a password to open the file? Of
course this should not happen, though it will be hard to avoid. I’ll have to
look into it.
As a workaround, if this is the problem, I can imagine two solutions.
1. Make sure you check to automatically save passwords in the General prefs,
and make sure you save the password for the file (when you open the file). If
you then re-open the file, the problem should not occur anymore. If at some
point you have saved the file after it was opened in the wrong state, you may
have to replace the saved file with the original with the correct notes.
2. save the file and a separate .skim file for the notes (export as Skim notes)
on the system where things work. You can then read in the notes from the .skim
file after you have entered your password.
