The editor does not appear to be doing much of anything.
What does the Editor.log show? (Help ➤ Open Logs Folder).
Is the Editor quitting or not? Is it quitting and then relaunching?
Maybe you have a macro that is running frequently that is referencing the Keyboard Maestro editor (perhaps via AppleScript, since loading the dictionary requires launching the application)?
A lot of this!

I know I have a macro that triggers every time the front window changes... I just forget where it is, what it's called and why it's there. I'm sure it was for a good reason!
Thanks for the hint. This was the offending macro:
I don't remember writing this. If I disable the macro the Editor stays quit as normal. I wonder what I broke by doing that... My professional life is a house of cards. The cards are macros.
A-ha! This macro is bundled with a piece of software named Defaulter by Quiet Art.

Defaulter is a Pro Tools plug-in so I should be safe to restrict it to running only when Pro Tools is running too.
