Edit disabled after multiple cursor edit

#1

Hello – I’ve had a fully functional sublime text 3 (build 3065) on Ubuntu 14.10 for some time now. Recently I experienced editing becoming disabled following a multiple cursor edit. I can select (e.g. CTRL-d) a word, repeat to do multiple selects, edit at all cursors and escape to exit multiple editing. Following these actions, I can no longer edit at the cursor (e.g. add a blank line or delete with backspace). Reloading the file restores normal functionality until the next multiple cursor edit.

I can replicate the problem on a tex file and an R script, so it does not seem to be code specific.

Perhaps I have created the problem with one of my setups, so here is my user preference file contents:
{
“args”:
{
“scope”: “block”
},
“bold_folder_labels”: true,
“color_scheme”: “Packages/Pastel Paws Color Scheme/Pastel Paws - Graphene.tmTheme”,
“command”: “repl_transfer_current”,
“extra_file_exclude_patterns”:

	"*.pyc",
	"*.pyo",
	"*.exe",
	"*.dll",
	"*.obj",
	"*.o",
	"*.a",
	"*.lib",
	"*.so",
	"*.dylib",
	"*.ncb",
	"*.sdf",
	"*.suo",
	"*.pdb",
	"*.idb",

	"*.db",
	"*.sublime-workspace",
	".svn",
	".git",
	".hg",
	"CVS",
	".aux",
	".blg",
	"fls",
	"log"
],

],
"keys":

],
"line_padding_bottom": 1,

"rulers":

],
"scroll_past_end": true,
"show_transferred_text": true,
"tab_completion": false,
"tab_size": 4,
"translate_tabs_to_spaces": true,
"trim_trailing_white_space_on_save": true,
"word_separators":

	"/\\()\"‘-:,;~!@#$%^&*|+=]{}`~?"
],
"word_wrap": true

}

Any ideas what has gone wrong?

Thanks,
Sam

I seem to have solved the problem. I had an empty ignored packages statement in my user options:
// “ignored_packages”:
//
// ],
Commenting this removed the problem. Uncommenting re-established the problem.
