ST menu only working from first instance of ST

#1

Hello,
Just upgraded to Build 4107 on win10
Seems the menu disappears when opening a second ST instance.
When showing the menu by pressing Alt or useing Ctr-shift-P, the menu appears but non of the menu Items work.
I also have problems opening Sublime-merge from ST on any but the first instance

Any suggestions ?

What do you mean by “second ST instance”?

just start ST again. (often done from the menu: "open recent ")
I normally have 2 or 3 ST editors open on different project directories.
This used to be no problem but since a couple of updates ago I suddely started having problems opening merge on any but the first ST opened.
The workaround was killing all, and reopening the one I needed to check git.
But now the complete menu does not work anymore.

and even ALT or ctrl P do NOT restore it

Ah ok, those would be separate windows on the same application instance. Does it happen in safe mode?

Do you perhaps have an override for the default packages? You can check this using the menu Preferences > Browser Packages… and seeing if there’s a folder called Default in there.

If you go up a directory and into the Installed Packages folder is there perhaps a Default file or folder in there?

this one contains:

Does it work if you add "bz2", "Stino", "SublimeCodeIntel" to the "ignored_packages" setting?

Nobody any ideas anymore ?
I think ST has become unworkable in this way !
If this cannot be fixed, I will have to look for an other editor
