Random window issues and display corruption

[Major_Disaster]

Hi all,

Been using ST2 for a while now and really love it. I have just moved to a new workstation (new SSD, new processor same graphics card) and am now experiencing very odd display corruption with the ST2 app. Every other app i have tried so far works fine.

Say i open ST2 10 times. 7 times i will just get two thick black lines over the left panel and bottom status bar (see screen shot 1), 2 times the app appears to load fine but syntax highlighting doesn't work and 1 time out of 10 everything will be fine.

SS1:


SS2:


I have tried reinstalling ST2 and updating to the latest graphics drivers. Nothing seems to help.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot - i would hate to have to ditch ST2 because of this

Any ideas? Its really frustrating...

Ive uploaded a copy and paste of my ST2 console on startup (see here: http://pastebin.com/V0vhmGEf), but cant see anything wrong...?

Update: OK so i wondered whether the fact my %APPDATA% was on a network drive could be an issue, so i downloaded the portable version straight to my C:\ and everything appears to be working ok... Has anyone else had these type of issues with ST2 and roaming profiles?

EDIT: OK, so everything seems to work fine by using the portable version locally. My question now becomes, is there a way to change the location of the DATA directory (usually %APPDATA%/Sublime Text 2) so i can use the full product (inc dev builds)?

I have exactly the same issue, which has started since our corporate desktop build was changed and %APPDATA% now exists on a network location.

As well as the display corruption I find that packages I have installed (e.g. SFTP, syntax highlighters) only load some of the time. Getting a session where the display is good and all my packages have loaded can take lots of attempts. I often don't manage at all and have to live without something.

Changing the location of the data directory would be a workaround - I'd like Sublime to work properly with this folder redirected to the network, so that I get all my custom packages and settings wherever I log in.
