 * There appears to be an issue with WordPress 4.9 and some optimization plugins
   halting file editing in WordPress.
 * Here is a link to an article where someone figured out it was a different plugin.
   Following his logic I also disabled TinyPNG and the file editor on my site worked
   just fine again.

 * Actually, it appears as if you can no longer edit plugins while they are themselves
   active. My apologies.
