Search does not have focus after opening a file

#1

Hi, I noticed this strange/buggy behaviour:

  1. I have the lastest ST opened and running, without any file open (!)
  2. I open associated file (PHP, CSS, …) in my file manager, ST opens file and pops to front
  3. File is displayed, text caret blinking at the top
  4. I hit CTRL+F and search bar pops up
  5. I start typing search term …

But instead of typing search term to the search bar, characters are typed at the start of the file!

This happens only with strict conditions - ST already running, but no file opened, file opened by hitting Enter on it, no drag&dropped to editor …

Does this happen in safe mode?

Well, I can’t say … pressing Enter on selected PHP file in Windows Explorer (…) opens file in “full” Sublime Text, even when safe-moded ST app is running. But I removed all packages (…) and now it’s gone.

Hm, is there any convenient way how to disable/enable installed packages one by one?

You can selectively disable packages using the "ignored_packages" setting.

I use PackagesUI to quickly enable/disable packages, plus a range of other useful features:

Excellent, thank you!

Now I was able to find the culprit - Tabright package. After its disabling the mentioned behaviour is gone.
