Sublime renames some files into *.dump automatically

#1

I’m using Sublime 2.0.2 build 2221 on Mac.
I noticed that when I open certain files like a C# (.cs) or a log file (*.log).
Sublime automatically renames the file into .cs.dump or .log.dump.
So that I can never save my edits to the file directly.
And this only happens to very specific files not every file of the same type.

What am I missing here?

Never seen that behavior, but could be a plugin to. Try reverting to a clean state and see if the problems persists. At a minimum, this will tell you where the problem is actually coming from.

Maybe this plugin (GBK Encoding Support) caused this issue.
When I open files with Chinese characters ,and if these files do not saved as UTF-8, then .dump occurs…

If the GBK Encoding Support plugin is removed, and open the same files mentioned above, the .dump will not show, (Chinese characters will not show correctly either)

Here is some more info:
By using “file” command, I find differences between normal file and abnormal file:

  1. normal file: UTF-8 Unicode text, with CRLF line terminators
  2. abnormal file: ISO-8859 English text, with CRLF line terminators
