Little Interface Flaws

#1

Hi,

I would like to point out what I think are minor interface flaws in Sublime Text 4126. I have it installed via Snap on Solus Linux 4.3. (Three S’s :slight_smile:

(1) Gutter is only highlighted on one line, although two lines are selected.

st4-lines-selected

(2) However I tweak the settings, I cannot remove the horizontal scroll bars when in a split view.

st4-hor-scroll

Relevant settings:

{
	"always_show_minimap_viewport": true,
	"line_numbers": false,
	"highlight_line": true,
	"highlight_gutter": true,
	"auto_match_enabled": false,
	"color_scheme": "Packages/Color Scheme - Default/Breakers.sublime-color-scheme",
	"enable_tab_scrolling": false,
	"font_face": "Noto Sans Mono",
	"font_size": 12,
	"line_padding_top": 8,
	"rulers": [	],
	"save_on_focus_lost": true,
    "spell_check": true,
	"theme": "Default.sublime-theme",
	"word_wrap": true,
	"wrap_width": 60,
	"wrap_width_style": "min",
	"scroll_speed": 1.0,

}

But thanks for making Sublime Text in any case - it’s a beautiful program.

The gutter highlights carets, not the selection. The horizontal scroll bar only shows when it’s needed on my end, does it happen in safe mode?

What is safe mode? I think this may have to do with how "wrap_width_style": "min", works. I could be wrong though.

Safe Mode allows you to temporarily run Sublime in a purely bone stock manner without having to change any files or lose any settings; it’s documented here: https://www.sublimetext.com/docs/safe_mode.html

I see, thanks.

No, it seems all right in safe mode. No horizontal scroll bar, that is.

I tried deleting all the settings from ST launched in a usual way. But it didn’t help. When I set “Word wrap column” to a certain value, the horizontal scroll bars appeared.

(In this message, the dark theme is for a safe mode, the light theme is for a usual mode.)

We’ve got a fix for this in the works.
