Wrong folder layout in side bar due to wrong path in worspace file

#1

When I switch from project A to project B and back to A (by double-click on “A.sublime-project”, closing A.sublime-project and double-clicking “B.sublime-project” closing it and double-click on “A.sublime-project” again) the side panel of project A shows the folder layout of project B. This is also reflected by the entry “project” in A.sublime-workspace, which first (project A open) correctly reads:
"project": "A.sublime-project" (in A.sublime-workspace)

but then, after opening project B, the line in A.sublime-workspace get’s changed to:
"project": "<path_to_project_folder_B.sublime-project" (in A.sublime-workspace)

So after switching back to A, project A shows the folder layout of project B.

In my user prefs I have the line “remember_open_files”: true, when I set it to false, the line “project”: … is not written to the file A.sublime-project and therefor the folder layout is correct but obviously the open views are not rembered anymore.

OS: Debian buster
ST3: Version 3.2.2 Build 3211
Thanks for any help!l

Side Bar Folder Weirdness

By closing the project do you mean you have more windows open and are simply closing the project’s window, or are you exiting Sublime Text entirely? I assume you’re “double-clicking” on projects in your file browser? What does the file structure of your 2 projects look like, are they in separate directories?

I’m closing ST entirely each time and there is always just one window open. Yes, its “double-clicking” in PCMan file manager. The project files are in 2 separate directories, they both reside in the same parent directory.

  • parent_dir
    • subdir_a
      • A.sublime-project
      • A.sublime-workspace
    • subdir_b
      • B.sublime-project
      • B.sublime-workspace
