Does it happen in safe mode?

Sorry to bump this topic, but the same thing happened to me just now!

I tracked down the root cause to having “hardware_acceleration” setting in preferences set to “opengl” (while using Adaptive theme). When I set it to “none” and restart Sublime Text the issue is fixed (when I set it back to “opengl” and restart Sublime Text the issue comes back).

I could not reproduce the issue in Sublime Text’s safe mode, since it requires a restart to Sublime Text to take affect, and as far as I understand the data directory is deleted on exit. So I deleted the Data directory of the regular Sublime Text (not safe mode) to start clean and played with the preferences file until I found this.

The reason I set “hardware_acceleration” to “opengl” in the first place is to resolve scrolling being not smooth.

I’m willing to share more information to help to resolve this issue.

Could you share the OpenGL information from the console (View > Show Console)? It gets logged at startup, so should be near the top.

I was going to say that I remember seeing this a few years ago with Intel drivers, and it looks like you’re using Intel graphics from 2017. I suggest trying to update your graphics drivers and see if it still happens.
