Weird formatting/symbols/encoding in Sublime Console on macOS

#1

Whenever I run any of my code from within Sublime on ma macOS machine I get these really weird symbols/encoding errors. It happens with Rust as well as Python code.

I use Sublime on Linux as well and it works just fine on Linux. so it must be some macOS specific problem. However I have no clue where this comes from. Does anybody have any ideas?

Also how can I get in direct contact with the official support team? And yes, I of course have purchased a ST3 license.

Thanks in advance

That output looks suspiciously like whatever you’re running is trying to display colored output of some sort, which doesn’t work in Sublime because it just captures all output and adds it directly to the output buffer.

If it works on Linux but not on MacOS the first thing that comes to mind is that some environment variable or configuration option is turned on/off on one machine and not on the other. Another possible reason would be that you have a package installed on one of the machines that interprets/filters the color codes but that package is not installed on the other machine.

The support page only lists the forum as a support vector (unless you have a sales question, which we’re unqualified to answer), so probably this is as close to “official” support as you can get. The devs do visit the forum, however.
