Open file/dir both cause hang on Ubuntu 18.04; ST3 Build 3170

#1

I keep having issues with the open file/dir functions.
Invoking either function causes ST3 to hang. Once hung, the ST3 has to be killed.
This is happening with the latest build (3170) and also happened with the prior build.
I am using a licensed version of the application.

I can fix by doing a uninstall/install.

In an effort to help get to the bottom of this issue, which I can see is impacting others as well, here are the packages I am using:

  • Anaconda
  • Atomic color scheme
  • Autofoldcode
  • Origami
  • Package Control
  • Python PEP8 Autoformat

If anyone knows the root cause, please share!

Thanks all

this may have been fixed since build 3170, I’ve had no problems on Ubuntu 18.04 with build 3175.

How have you installed the application? You aren’t perchance using the unofficial snap, are you?

I installed/uninstalled using the Ubuntu Software GUI app.
Is there a preferred or recommended method for installation?

As long as you are using http://www.sublimetext.com/docs/3/linux_repositories.html or grabbing the .tar.bz2 from https://www.sublimetext.com/3, you are using an official source. Any other source (the snap installer or webupd8 repo) are unofficial and may lead to issues since we’ve seen issues where they are modifying the binaries.

Snaps may contain malware. See this article.

Thanks for the info, wbond.
I uninstalled the previous ST3 and re-installed per information given on link.
(Ubunt “apt” method)

I will update this post if it happens to freeze again.

Thanks!
