Cursor/Caret Glitch

#1

My issue is with Sublime Text 3 Build 3059.

Been a user of sublime for a while now, without any issues, thankfully, until now. For some reason since the last update for Sublime Text 3, i’ve been having issues with my text cursor/caret. Sometimes its a solid square or a solid rectangle that takes up 2 lines. Sometimes its normal and stays within the line-height of the line. Other times its the line-height of 2 lines. I thought it could be within my preferences for sublime but i could not find anything that would cause such a glitch.

Any help would be appreciated as this is annoying the hell out of me. On a side note, it seems that randomly, when i’m saving a file i get a MoveFileEx, Access Denied error. It does not matter if I have atomic_save set to true or not either which is another annoying issue.

Sublime Text makes my life as a programmer/developer so much easier that its sad to see these issues randomly squeak through the cracks.

Much Love <3

A bit of an update. I uninstalled Sublime Text 3 and reinstalled it fresh (I removed the AppData files). It fixed the issue for a little while and then it “updated” and the problem was present again.

This fix worked for me, too. Cheers!
