One day when I was going to log off my PC, I find several plugin_host-3.8.exe
shown in taskmgr.exe
. I was so surprised.
plugin_host-3.8.exe
and crash_handler.exe
are usually ended on the shutdown of sublime_text.exe
; It is designed to be that, however, it occationally doesn’t.
And… it seems each plugin_host-3.8.exe
comes with a crash_handler.exe
You may not easily observe this problem. But I would like to show how I reproduced this (also by some little chance).
With a fresh installation from official sublime_text_build_4200_x64.zip
(portable);
Repeat: open the ST app, type/edit something on some draft text, then close ST,
until you observed plugin_host-3.8.exe
process still exists after closed ST.
And sometimes the plugin host process doesn’t exit even do nothing in ST (just open ST and close it in few seconds).
Fortunately, It seems not lead to data damage/lost.
