This is happening for .cs files too. It happens when there are multiple compile errors in the same file.

Cancelling DisplayDialog because it was run from a thread that is not the main thread: Opening file failed Opening file *.cs: The system cannot find the file specified.

I would like to add 2018.4.2f1.
Whenever that happens, the script that was open with VS goes missing. It shows up with a blank page icon and I have to reimport it for Unity to recognize again.
