I repeated the tests, and indeed the new build 211 solves this problem. Yay!

I wanted to ask about some of your earlier comments.

Sigil remains running when you close the Window (even the last window) and you can see this by looking for the dot in the panel under your Sigil app. If you click once on the panel Sigil with the icon, you should see the top menubar show Sigil and have a File menu enabled to open a new epub.

Dragging a new epub to that Sigil icon in the panel with the dot under it will just open a new Window in the existing version of Sigil just as using the File->Open menu would do.
I understand that if I close the Window (red close button or menu-Close) that Sigil itself is still running (dot next to Sigil icon on Dock), even if there are no visible Windows. I also understand that the only way to make Sigil stop running is to Quit with command-Q or menu-Quit.

But what do you mean "You are probably launching a different version of Sigil someplace when you do that!" ??

I usually leave Sigil "open and running" (dot next to Sigil icon in Dock) without a Window open. In other words, when I finish working on an epub, I usually just save and close the Window, but leave Sigil running (with dot in Dock). I may then open a different epub or go do something else and then come back and re-open the epub I was working on. I only Quit Sigil when I'm done for the day. Is this a problem? Should I avoid Closing a Window and use Quit instead?

I am so confused now. See above.

... flush your Application caches
Is this when I go to Library > Caches and delete the sigil-ebook folder?

Thank you
