High CPU usage in ST4 and constant disk access, indexing ignores .gitignore node_modules

#1

ST4 is constantly accessing disk and using up to two full cores (12,5% is 100%/8 cores) even with just a handful of small files open. This happened after I added the C:\repos folder as described here.

What is happening and why?

/edit
I discovered a little percentage “83%” at the bottom and found that it was indexing. There, when I unchecked “Indexing Enabled” the CPU and Disk usage instantly went away and I found stuck indexing

What is puzzling me though, is that node_modules should be ignored with default "exclude .gitignore" setting https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/indexing.html#index_exclude_gitignore (I have not changed this value).

And that folder wasn’t even in the project any more (I have just removed it).

After Disabling and Enabling again, the issue didn’t reappear, but the high RAM usage remained High CPU and RAM usage in ST4 and ST3
