I reported a bug (#18688, Oct 26 - 2016) that is still there in 9.5.0 on Mac 10.15.1. It partially overlaps with your description:
[1] Saving a stack while the script editor is open with an unsaved script doesn't save the script. [2] Quitting LC without closing (saved) stack window or SE doesn't save unsaved scripts. > Curry K. wrote: > Wondering if this bug has already been reported? > > I've seen a wonderful LC 9 IDE bug: sometimes the Script Editor window > seems to disassociate from the object being edited.
