I am using Sublime Text version 3.2.2 Build 3211a registered Sublime Text.
Ubuntu 20.04 with POP OS from System 76. I did a test and I got the same problem with Ubuntu 20.04.

open_file_in_new_window is set to false.
Opening a folder open a new window.
I did try (unzipping, changing and zipping) default settings for Linux (setting “open_files_in_new_window”: false) without ANY changes.
I did try to start Sublime with NO plugins and ONLY these user settings.
// Settings in here override those in “Default/Preferences.sublime-settings”,
// and are overridden in turn by syntax-specific settings.
{
“open_files_in_new_window”: false,
}
NO difference. Opening a folder open a new window.
