 * When i go in to the file editor and edit a normal php file then press the submit
   button it worked correct. However since this afternoot when i edit a css file
   and press the submit button my browser asked if i whant to save theme-editor.

 * Maybe the plugin siteorigin-css that i installed / deactivated / removed again
   broke my editor.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem. If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems.
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](https://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or PhpMyAdmin. Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading all files & folders – **except** the wp-content folder and wp-
   config.php & root .htaccess files – from a **fresh** download of WordPress. Make
   sure that you delete the old copies of files & folder before uploading the new
   ones.

 * i deleted some plugins and installed them fresh. Also reinstalled the siteorigin
   css editor and removed it again. It seemed that it worked. I hope it stays likes
   that.
 * Many thanks
