Clicking on an open tab opens a new workspace

#1

Hi all,

I just updated Sublime Text on MacOS to today’s version, and it seems that now, whenever I want to click on a tab to make it active, it pops it out and opens a new workspace with this tab only. This is quite annoying, as I have to drag a little bit the tab to keep it in the current layout.

Is it a new options that I can disable?

Thanks,
Arthur

That’s certainly not expected behavior, but I’m also not seeing it on my end. What version of macOS are you running?

Thanks for the quick reply! I’m running on Tahoe 26.6.2 (25G83).

I’m not sure “workspace” is the right word for this, but it detaches the tab to a new super-tab, as when you open the Settings for instance.

Those would be native tabs, each of those is a separate window. Does it still happen if you hold down the mouse button for longer, ie. long press on a tab?

Yes, still happens with a long click, with both trackpad and mouse.

Hmm, that’s quite odd. Does it happen in safe mode? A screen recording may also help to better understand what’s going on.

It does not happen in safe mode, and after quitting, launching in safe mode, then quitting and launching in normal mode again, I don’t have the issue anymore… If it occurs again, I will record the screen and let you know.

Thank you for your time, it’s really appreciated.

It’s happening again, and it seems to be happening only (i) on the secondary display, and (ii) when ST is in full screen. Can I post the screen recording here, or do I have e.g. to open a Github issue?

Whatever works for you, but that might be enough information to reproduce it.

Sorry I should’ve been clearer, I can’t upload a video (.mov) here it seems. I uploaded the recording to this issue: https://github.com/sublimehq/sublime_text/issues/6984.
