I am sure about the editor issues but I have a suggestion for JOSM.  I
wonder if what you are experiencing is garbage collection of the Java JVM.
Sometimes it helps to return to the JOSM session and be patient.  I am
guessing that Java fights to regain some memory to work again.

One of the things that I have done to protect against the interruptions or
other failure issues is timed backups. Menu > Edit > Preferences > Map
looking grid/Map Settings or the third button down. Click on the File
Backup tab. Click on the "Auto save enable" box and enter the seconds
between saves.  I lowered my tolerance to 15 seconds.  The laid on power
strip button several times.  ;-)

Regards,
Greg
