All Sublime windows become yellow [Bug]

[Possible Bug] Sublime editor becomes Yellow

  • System: Using the latest Sublime Text 3.0 (Build 3143) on Mac OSX (10.10.4, mid-2015)
  • Observations:
    1. The whole sublime screen becomes yellow when switching screens or windows (mostly randomly), except when you are working on the editor.
    2. No performance issues are observed.
  • Steps to repro:
    1. One or more windows opened (I have mostly 2-4 windows opened).
    2. Try loading projects and files (in my case at least 15-20 are always open and overall could be 25+)
    3. Try switching screens or do some other work (except on this editor) with sublime opened in the bg for some time.
    4. Observe that randomly, the screen becomes yellow, as if there was a rendering issue with it. Everything on the editor - project panels, tabs, bottom bar and the top header - everything and on all instances.
    5. Bring back sublime into focus, and it goes away and everything seems to work fine.
    6. Reproducibility: ~ 39% [got 5 in 13 times]

I don’t have a screengrab right now, as I had sensitive data, but will update the thread as soon as possible with a grab.

PS: Lucky enough to get a grab immediately after this post: https://prnt.sc/gvr05z
