C++ syntax highlighting broken only on linux

#1

I have the latest ST 4. On my linux install, syntax highlighting is broken in C++ files: the first line gets some highlighting, then the rest of the text is almost all uncoloured.

The same ST configuration works perfectly on Windows and Mac though.

I have a few packages installed, but I have tried removing the relevant ones and it made no difference. I don’t see anything interesting in the console.

	"installed_packages":
[
	"AutoPEP8",
	"BracketHighlighter",
	"Git",
	"Grunt",
	"HypnotoadSVN",
	"Package Control",
	"Pretty JSON",
	"Qt Completions for C++",
	"Sass",
	"SideBarEnhancements",
	"SublimeCodeIntel",
	"SublimeLinter",
	"SublimeLinter-pycodestyle",
	"Theme - Monokai Pro",
	"WindowsContextMenu",
],

I’ve removed codeintel, linter, Qt Completions and bracket highlighter and nothing changed.

Any ideas?

Does it happen in safe mode?

Seems OK in safe mode. Does that mean one of the packages is the cause, or is there some data or cache somewhere to be cleared?

It’s likely one of the packages is the cause, though you can try clearing the cache in ~/.cache/sublime-text.

I’ve removed the cache and all my packages except Package Control, and even changed my theme and colour schemes to the default, and I still have the problem.

Perhaps you have something in your user package? You can check in .config/sublime-text/Packages/.

I nuked .config/sublime-text-3/Packages/User and the problem persists.

If I nuke all of .config/sublime-text-3 then it works.

My other linux install works fine too, so I guess I have some bad data somewhere on the other machine.
