can't read the file

I had downloaded version 5.1.x earlier and used it for a few days, and everything seemed to work. I then downloaded version 5.2.0 and my files were unreadable. I see a few funky characters --- ??? --- and that is it. These are just ordinary text files that I had previously accessed without problem; they are Factor source-code. I tried changing the name from .factor to .txt but that didn't help. Any ideas?

Were there any high-bit characters or control-characters
in the file?

You can get a copy of a file that Komodo wouldn't open here: www.rosycrew.com/list.factor
I don't think this file had any high-bit characters in it. I tried several source-code files, all of which had originally been created with the Crimson editor, and got the same result every time. It looks exactly the same with each file, so I don't think that Komodo is interpretting text wrong because that would result in weird but different garbage with the different files.
As I said, Komodo 5.1.x had no problem with these same files.
Are you using a custom UDL language for it? Sure looks like it could use one
I don't know the term UDL, but I assume you mean the way that the editor supports various programming languages --- like an IDE. I planned on figuring that out later, especially in regard to syntax-coloring and tabbing, but I expected to be able to see my file as plain text first.
This is why I tried renaming the file list.txt --- because I thought maybe the .factor extension was already used for some kind of binary format that the editor might be trying to interpret it as, that was new to the 5.2.0 version.
