I was a big user of the system tabs above the project tabs as well. As far as I can tell it was a feature of OSX for finder tabs and the “bug” was removed as of Sublime Text 3 Build 3143 (Present in Build 3126).
I could reliably get the tabs to appear with the following method in Build 3126:
- close sublime text completely
- open a project from the terminal using sublime .
- add the window that sublime opened as a split screen, full screen app.
- open additional projects using sublime .
Here is a video of the tabs we are all referring to.
Please Sublime, make this an option to enable or disable. I can see why some people don’t like it, but there are a lot of us that have made it part of our daily workflow.
