The only script editors I am using are Xcode and the AppleScript Editor - you got me thinking about what else could be using the formatting though, and remembered that I do have a QuickLook plugin for showing scripts. It would also be using the preferences (or calling something else that does), so I have removed that to see if it makes a difference.
I don’t think that Xcode is necessarily doing anything with the formatting preferences since it doesn’t use them, but something is getting confused when using it with the AppleScript Editor - I’ve never had a problem just using the AppleScript Editor by itself. I’m not manipulating the preferences file while the applications are running, but before Mavericks, just quitting the applications and restoring the file was enough. Now when it gets lost, it takes a restart to clean things up or to get it to read the file again (or at least pay attention to it).
