[ST4] Goto Symbol and .gitignore regression?

#1

I have a project with some folders for external packages in .gitignore (like node_modules etc). In ST3 I can open such an external package explicitly as a new project/window from the command line and Goto Symbol works fine. In ST4 it seems like the .gitignore of the parent folder is used, even though the root of the project is below that. Because of that Goto Symbol doesn’t work and for search I have to explicitly disable using .gitignore. Is that a bug/regression? Can I disable that without disabling usage of .gitignore globally? I would expect ST4 to only use .gitignore starting from the project root, not outside of it.

I’m aware of that option, but I would have to create a new project and set it there for each folder I want to open. I don’t want to set that option globally either.
