A lot of the time, when I open a file in TextEdit, such as test.txt
, it will create another file test.txt.sb-d7bff531-E4qLT8
in the same directory.
Why does it do this?

If you also get errors like this, it's probably the same issue I had.
There were messages like this in system.log, so it could be related to Versions or sandboxing:
I ended up replacing TextEdit with TextEditPlus, and I haven't gotten those errors or extra temp files after that. It's based on a version of TextEdit that came with Lion, but it's still mostly identical to the current version.
