[OSX][ST3] Open dialog stops opening

#1

Sublime text version: 3065 (un|not yet) registered, stable channel
OS: OSX Yosimite
Hardware: MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)

This problem only started recently, but not after an ST update. An ST update did not fix the problem.

After a while running, ST will no longer open the Open file dialog. Other file dialogs still work, such as Save As. Closing (completely - not just closing the window but right clicking in the dock and quitting from there) and re-opening will allow the open dialog to work for a while again. It doesn’t matter if I use super+o or the menu.

I can see from log that the command is running:
key evt: super+o
command: prompt_open

It is just that no dialog appears.

If I spam super+o in a rage then sometimes a new ST window will open along with an Open File dialog for that window. Which is very strange.

That’s my problem! I tried searching but had no luck :frowning: Any help is greatly appreciated!

Edit: Sublime also no-longer remembers which tabs I had open when I re-start it. Sublime is being run from the Applications folder, not just from some download folder or transient mounted volume which is what usually causes that problem.
