any chance to get the syntax test runner enabled on the sublimehq Packages repo now please?

**ngppgn** · February 10, 2018, 2:22pm

Anything worth knowing regarding the “various syntax highlight improvements” mentioned in the changelogs?

**kingkeith** · February 10, 2018, 2:34pm

not sure how we’re supposed to know what you consider to be worth knowing, but just check the commits:

**ngppgn** · February 10, 2018, 3:50pm

Fair point. I was curious wether that entry mesnt improvements in terms of performance or maybe of functionality for syntax creators. It turned out it was mostly improvements to several concrete language syntaxes, from what I can see. Thank you for the link!

Is go to symbol within the current file completely broken in this build for anyone else?

**kingkeith** · February 12, 2018, 12:56pm

if you’re talking about JS, then yes, otherwise no

there still seems to be a sporadic bug in the syntax highlighter, whereby editing a line can cause subsequent lines to end up in the wrong context. No idea how to reproduce it, I’m afraid, but just now I was editing a small C# file, and added /* to the start of a line which had public interface Blah // line comment here on it, and the { on the next line still had the meta.interface scope with no comment.block scope to be seen. Reloading the file fixed the problem.

Thanks for the report. I’ll see if I can do some digging and figure out what might be going on here.

Since upgrading to 3157 (macOS 10.13.3), double-clicks on results in the Find Results tabs jump to the corresponding file, but a different tab gets the focus. I wasn’t able to reproduce this with only a few tabs open. This only seems to happen when the file wasn’t open before, since a second double-click on the same result focuses the correct tab.

Edit: I’ll have to investigate this further, the problem could be caused by the Zen Tabs package.

I’ve noticed that Sublime closes when unplugging my external monitor. I’m sure it happens at other times too but i’ve not been able to reliably reproduce those instances.

I wonder if anyone else had noticed something similar?

**wbond** · February 15, 2018, 4:10pm

Can you create an issue at https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues with details?

**wbond** · February 15, 2018, 4:11pm

My hunch would be some sort of package issue, or an issue that existed before. I don’t believe we’ve touched anything related to that in a bit.

**bumfod** · February 18, 2018, 11:20am

Have anyone ever noticed that on mac when a dark colored titlebar meets bright text, the text looks bold in a way that feels unnatural?

And then If you try black titlebar with black text, you’ll see a white “outline”, which is actually antialiasing which assumes bright background. This answers why the bright text on black colored titlebar looks bold and unnatural.

**idleberg** · February 27, 2018, 10:33pm

I’ve had Zen Tabs disabled throughout last week without the problem recurring again. Will submit an issue for the package.

**wbond** · February 28, 2018, 2:11am

Yes. Unfortunately this is something that Apple does automatically, and I don’t believe we have any way to 100% influence it. Apple only allows limited control over the title bar, and we have to do a bunch of hacks to try and create a fully custom color for the background and foreground. If I recall correctly from my testing, we ask for text to be in a certain color, and Apple is sending it back aliased against a background. It probably has something to do with the fact that the text is in a transparent view that overlays a full-window content view (which allows us to control the background color).

Until Apple releases APIs that allow for custom title bars with traditional window title and icon, we’ll have to fake it as best we can.

**wbond** · February 28, 2018, 2:12am

I’ve pinned this down and we’ll have a fix in the next build.

**devcarlos** · February 28, 2018, 4:05pm

"ensure_new_line_at_eof_on_save": true,

Has stopped working.

**addons_zz** · February 28, 2018, 5:06pm

Still working here:

**devcarlos** · February 28, 2018, 5:34pm

Thank you for letting me know it was still working.

Just removed it from the top of my preferences to the bottom and it suddenly started working again… weird.

Jon hit the nail on the head in Discord when he asked if I had any active phantoms in the text buffer at the time. I’ll answer here as well for the sake of people not following Discord discussions, plus my reply there was a bit messy

reproduction steps:

stock ST3157 Windows x64
create this plugin that will create phantoms: https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1822#issuecomment-316679383
new view/file
set syntax C#
paste the following

using abc;

namespace Test
{
    public interface FooBar // comment
    {
        void TestMe();
    }
}

move the caret to before public
type /*

if it’s a problem with my code that creates phantoms, I’d be happy to hear it

curious to know why phantoms can affect it in this way though - https://github.com/SublimeTextIssues/Core/issues/1497 is also related
