[ST3] on_modify gets wrong view

#1

To reproduce:

  1. Create a plugin that receives on_modified.
  2. To make it easier to see what is happening, set the layout to 2 columns.
  3. Open a file in the left column.
  4. Clone the view, move the clone to the right column.
  5. Type in the view on the right.

on_modified receives the view on the left column, not the active view. Surely this is not the intended behavior.

It seems that the view with the lowest id is the one that is passed to on_modified. I suspect it’s the same with other event handlers.

# typewriter scrolling def on_modified(self, view): # TODO STBUG if the view is in a column, for some reason the parameter view, is not correct. This fix it:s window = view.window(); if not window: window = sublime.active_window() view = window.active_view()
