I’m running Ubuntu 16.04 with Sublime Text 3 build 3143 installed from the PPA. After a system freeze Sublime suddenly started opening files in new windows instead of in a tab in the current window. I’ve added the open files in new window setting to the settings file as such:
{ "font_size": 14, "open_files_in_new_window": false }
But it didn’t help. I’ve completely purged everything that I could find using
sudo find / -type f -name "*ublime*
and
sudo find / -type d -name "*ublime*
and then reinstalled, but still it doesn’t change back to the normal behavior. I restored a backup of the settings and that didn’t help either.
How can I fix this?
Edit: After some more tinkering with the settings it always starts in split view now? Is there a master location for the settings? Because it seems like the standard settings file isn’t the only file responsible for how ST behaves, and it surely isn’t doing what it’s supposed to do.
Edit 2: Suddenly it works now, I have no idea what I did. I’m sorry I can’t be of more help in case this happens to someone else. Just stay strong and keep on derping and then suddenly it might work again like it did for me.
