New tab title not changing from "untitled"

#1

Previously any time I open a new tab, the title would dynamically change to the first line of the document.

However, suddenly this has stopped working and no matter the content, it’s stuck as “untitled” which makes it really hard to tell which tab is which.

I even still have unsaved tabs still open where this works but for whatever reason new tabs aren’t working. How do I fix this?

Does it happen in safe mode?

Yes. (I entered safe mode by running subl --safe-mode but can’t see any indication that I’m actually in safe mode).

I think I’ve worked it out. It seems to only happen when I change the Syntax to Markdown instead of Plain Text. How can I keep this working while using Markdown syntax?

My guess is it’s a plugin causing the problem. You need to fully exit Sublime Text before it will start in safe mode, there’s a very loud popup you can’t miss if it started in safe mode.

Can you confirm that when you use the Markdown Syntax this problem still happens for you?

I can reproduce this on safe mode in Windows 11. It seems to be happening with every syntax, not specific to Markdown

Thanks. Seems it’s a bug then? What’s the best way to report?

As mentioned, maybe a separate issue would be good.
