I could not reproduce the issue in my environment.

So, could you provide further information to me?

  1. Close CotEditor. Open CotEditor.

    Please describe the actions step-by-step. Did you completely close CotEditor, for instance using the Command+Q keys?

  2. Please share the screenshots of both:

Thank you.

To close CotEditor, I clicked the red X in the upper left corner of the CotEditor window. To open CotEditor, I clicked the CotEditor icon in the dock.

Edit: presently CotEditor has 'keep in dock' checked on the dock icon, but I've tried it both ways.

Thank you for the reply.

Aha, OK. That’s not the right way to quite an application in macOS and the reason why your windows are not restored. If you close a window, the window is literally closed and not considered to be a window to restore. Instead, you need to quite an application either by selecting CotEditor > Quit CotEditor menu command or by the Command+Q shortcut keys.

Ok. I'm recently converting from Windows & Linux. So what happens if I reboot or something crashes? Evidently the reloading of existing documents is not within the control of CotEditor at all?

You can simply try it.

Well, answering your question:
