Bug when test copy

#1

Hello,

I noticed weird Sublime text 3 behavior today - whenever I copy some text there is a message:

Save Changes?

New file has been modified, save changes?

Yes No Cancel

As shown below

So I copied TEST from line 1 and wanted to paste in line 2 but instead the “Save chnages” text was copied.

My sublime version is Sublime text 3 build 4126

This happens on windows if you press the Copy shortcut while there is a modal dialog box open (including in Safe Mode).

---------------------------
Sublime Text
---------------------------
Safe Mode

Sublime Text has been started in safe mode.

Safe mode causes Sublime Text to use a separate directory to store packages, settings and state information. This provides a pristine environment and leaves the normal mode data directory intact.

Please note that all unsaved buffers, settings changes, package installs and other configuration changes will be erased the next time the application is started in safe mode.

OK

@OdatNurd I see; are you going to fix that?

Not to copy dialog text when press Ctrl+C? You have to file an issue to Microsoft then and obviously that’s their design decision.

But the problem is when I later try to copy any other text, I keep having that old dialog box content. It only happens within Sublime, so rather not MS issue…

Do you perhaps have one of those dialogs open in the background?

https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/1303 I think this is related.
