Corrupt rendering after downgrade

#1

I downgrade from Sublime version 4 to version 3 to resolve an issue where Sublime had apparently upgraded itself beyond my paid license. Now I am see an area of corrupt rendering between the menu bar and editing area and at the bottom of the window. Here is a cropped image of the top area:

I have never seen this issue before the downgrade.

An important point of note is Sublime is running on a CentOS server and rendering on a Mint workstation via X over SSH. I have not seen this kind of corruption on any other remote graphics programs, e.g. Firefox, or Sublime before the downgrade. If I run locally on the CentOS server it is not corrupted.

Any ideas how to resolve this? Is there any additional information I should supplying or is this a known issue?

That looks like your theme is missing some rules. This is usually due to overriding the default theme. If you go to Preferences > Browse Packages do you see anything called Default?

Hi, thanks for the prompt reply. That opens up the ~/.config/sublime-text-3/Packages directory which only has a User directory in. In the User directory is Preferences.sublime-settings.

Does the issue happen in safe mode? Do you have hardware acceleration enabled?

Starting in safe mode makes not difference, the issue is still there. Not sure how to check for hardware acceleration, there is no mention of it in the settings so I assume it whatever the default is on Linux installs.

Additionally, an error in my original post, the corruption is also present, and the same when run locally. It just doesn’t always show up then Sublime is initially opened. It appears if the window is minimised and restored.

There’s no safe mode in ST 3211 so not sure what you did there. I’d suggest temporarily reverting to a freshly installed state and see if it happens then.

You didn’t say how to get into safe mode so I Googled it and simply used “subl --safe-mode”.

I tried that and is seems ok in to freshly installed state. Restoring my files the problem returns so I assume it sit something to do with my preferences. My user preferences contain:

{
“theme”: “Default Dark.sublime-theme”,
“color_scheme”: “Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Monokai.sublime-color-scheme”,
“update_check”: false,
}

I will test change those next.

It looks like it is:
“theme”: “Default Dark.sublime-theme”,
Causing the problem.

Going to Preference->Themes it would appear there is no longer a dark theme.
Not ideal, but it gets rid of the problem so is ok to use now.

Actually the Adaptive theme looks ok, so I think we can call this fixed.

Many thanks @bschaaf for you prompt and useful help :slight_smile:
