[ST 2.0.2 2221] Consistent crash while typing

#1

I’m experiencing a consistent crash issue while typing. Here’s an example of what I’m seeing:

  • ST crashes while typing, generating an error message of “Sublime Text 2 quit unexpectedly.”
  • I reopen the program, and begin filling in the few lines that were lost in the crash.
  • When I get to the same place in my code as before, the program crashes again. For example, if I’m trying to type x = int(“123”) and the program crashed the first time when I typed the 2, it will crash again when I type the 2.

The crash does not correspond to a specific keystroke, but is consistent within each occurrence - one day it might crash while typing a 2, while another day it might crash while typing a t. The crash seems to be positionally dependent upon the column but not the row: if the original crash occurred while typing a 2 in column 30, typing a row of 2’s will crash when the row reaches column 30, but inserting a newline above the desired code does not prevent the crash.

I have been experiencing this issue for some time, but it’s a little hard to get a handle on exactly what action is causing the crash. Each time I experience it, the problem magically fixes itself while I’m fiddling trying to gather more details. At this point I’ve seen the issue probably 5 or 6 times under different system conditions, so it doesn’t appear to be a fluke. Restarting the computer did not help either.

I am using Sublime Text 2.0.2 Build 2221 on Mac OSX Mavericks (10.9.5). I also use the same version of ST on my Windows machines and have not experienced this issue there. I mostly write Python code and have only noticed the issue while doing so.

Any information or fixes would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Sounds like it is probably a plugin. Try disabling all plugins.
