Two problems Sublime version 4189 for windows 10 Pro: 1. file locks not getting released 2. open files tab not showing in full

#1

Two newly experienced problems in latest Sublime version 4189 for windows 10 Pro:

  1. File locks do not seem to be getting released. I had not experienced this before, and could be to coinciding File Explorer sudden strange behavior.

  2. Open files’ tab in the window is not showing in tab or a small version of it. This seems to be definitely new, and very bad problem. Some open files do not have a visible tab (even when scrolling the tabs).

File locks do not seem to be getting released. I had not experienced this before, and could be to coinciding File Explorer sudden strange behavior.

Is this happening in safe mode?

Open files’ tab in the window is not showing in tab or a small version of it. This seems to be definitely new, and very bad problem. Some open files do not have a visible tab (even when scrolling the tabs).

Can you provide a screenshot or video of this happening? There are some cases where files should not have a tab associated with them, for instance when using goto-anything, but otherwise this is not really possible.

I have to apologize for not examining issues myself in more detail. These seem to have started recently, and the tab issue, upon further re-examination, maybe due to a new TAB scroll bar design?

As for the file lock issue, I did have this issue, but not sure if Windows or Sublime was the cause and I really do not have the time to investigate it further. I will see what happens with time.

Are you referring to single files or do you experience issues with removing git tracked directories?

ST’s git implementation holds a lock on files in .git directories, preventing git tracked directories from being removable.
