Another big thing is that its code is old.

Code doesn't slow down as it ages. :-) In fact, applications that have been around for a while tend to be very highly tuned as the result of years of successive refinement and optimization. "New and shiny" is not always better than "seasoned and mature".

It's not native to Mac OS X.

How do you know this; do you have access to the source code? I only ask because BBEdit's been around a very long time, and it's every inch a native Mac OS X application. So to say that it's "not native to Mac OS X" suggests that you have intimate knowledge of the innermost construction of the software. Do you?

To the original question: if something's not working the way you think it should, you can always ask for help from the people who wrote the software :-). I wouldn't want to speculate on the origin of the original symptoms without more information...
