Block Editing in 2018

Draftsight 2018 has a lot of the same issues 2017 had when it first launched. It runs slow and has issues with editing blocks. When I edit a block and then save it. It disappears from the drawing. If I save the drawing and then reopen it. The block is there with the changes. This was a problem with 2017 when it first came out as well.  Is there a fix for this?
