Steps to Reproduce:

  1. install an extension that leverages custom editors (non-text based, like Luna paint or Hex editor)
  2. open a folder
  3. open a file in hex editor or luna paint
  4. make the editor dirty
  5. add a folder to the workspace
  6. the extension host restarts
  7. click on another editor
  8. click back into the custom editor

=> the custom editor is gone and so is the data
