Fresh install. Clicking the burger menu icon does nothing. Tapping alt also doesn’t open it.
Sublime Merge 2102. Windows 10 21h2. 150% desktop scaling factor.
Burger menu doesn't open

Interesting. I imagine if you need the menu before it is fixed you could try opening the command palette Ctrl+Shift+P, find the relevant entry to edit the preferences and add
"themed_title_bar": false,
To get the normal native menu to appear instead

Yeah, I was able to figure it out. I’ve used both Sublime Merge and Sublime Text a bunch in the past. I installed Sublime Text on this machine to test, and it also has the problem with the burger menu not working.

Just to make it clear, this is happening with both Sublime Text and Sublime Merge. I have to disable the themed title bars in both of them. Not sure what to do about it. I would prefer to have the themed title bars.

I just tried a brand new Windows 10 22H2 install at 150% scaling and the hamburger menu works fine for both applications. Do you have some third party software installed that could be messing with this behavior?

Thanks for testing! With that information, I went about trying out things on my system to isolate it.
I found that it started behaving normally when I unplugged one of my keyboards and had a different one plugged in. I realized it might be tied to computer-side keyboard macros.
Eventually, I narrowed it down so that it can be reproduced with a hotkey assignment in Autohotkey:
-
Install Autohotkey
-
Create a script with the contents:
NumpadDown::F10
-
Launch the script.
-
Sublime Merge and Sublime Text no longer show the burger menu until you quit the script.
It seems like F10 causes the burger menu to close if it’s already open. Maybe the keyboard macro hook process sees Sublime Text/Merge send itself a simulated Numpad Down key event, intercepts it, and sends an F10 back as well, causing the menu to close immediately?
