Problem description
Sublime Text seems to be unable to load pre-existing syntax-specific settings for editing when requested from the menu if the User package is linked via directory junction.
Steps to reproduce:
- Link User via directory junction inside Packages
- Ensure Python.sublime-settings exists in User, and is not empty.
- Open a Python file in ST
- Try Preferences > Settings - Syntax Specifc
ST will present the user with an empty file and is unable to save it (error dialog shown).
Expected behavior
- Open the existing file correctly
- or warn that the file cannot be opened because of the above reasons
