Textedit Problem

[MarkW19]

For the past week, whenever I double-click a text/textedit file to open it, unless I open Textedit manually before, it won't automatically open Textedit with the file.

It does work if Textedit is already open, or if I drag the text file onto the Textedit icon, it opens (even when closed). But double-clicking as normal doesn't do anything. I get the open "zooming" animation, but textedit doesn't open.

All other apps behave as they should.

Can anyone help?

Have you tried restarting your computer?

I wonder if the "rtf" extension has been remapped to nowhere ...

I've tried the files with and without the extension, (and also .txt), and none work.

Restarted a number of times over the past week.

If you do a "Get Info" on an "rtf" file, what does it say in the "Open with:" section?

Textedit.

Hope someone can help. It's odd that only Textedit files behave like this, everything else is fine.

I've Google'd, and found nothing. Repaired permissions, restarted, recreated the files, sill the same.

Reinstall TextEdit?

Reinstall TextEdit?

Tried that unfortunately. This is very annoying!
